Sakshi Malik said that WFI chief Brij Bhushan should undergo lie detector narco test if he is sure of his innocence following the allegations of sexual harassment leveled against him by seven wrestlers. The protesting wrestlers also said that if Brij Bhushan was still involved in the working of the WFI, they would oppose the holding of the competitions.

"Those people speaking in favour of the WFI chief and saying that we are lying, I would say that Brij Bhushan should undergo a Narco Test under Supreme Court… and also the seven women wrestlers (who have alleged sexual harassment)." Sakshi Malik said in the press conference.

"I would request the womenfolk in the country to support us just like they did in the Nirbhaya case. Express solidarity with us because we are also fighting for the cause of women. If we win this fight, we would have sent a strong message, but if we lose we would go back 50 years." Sakshi Malik added.

Moreover, the wrestlers also decided to don black armbands on Thursday to protest against the slow process of investigation against Brij Bhushan. The wrestlers sitting on the dharna are demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan on charges of sexual harassment and intimidation of seven female wrestlers, including a minor.

The Delhi Police had registered two FIRs against the WFI President on 28 April. However, the investigation is still running on process. The Supreme Court had also reprimanded the Delhi Police for this. Earlier on Monday, there were reports that the wrestlers, who were on strike, have started practicing for the tournaments after 15 days. Wrestlers like Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat had practiced on Monday. These wrestlers are preparing for the trials for the Asian Games. At the same time, the ad-hoc panel of IOA has decided to conduct the trial from May 17.

IPL 2025: Will Mitchell Starc have to pay the price for pulling out mid-way? Explained

IPL 2025: Will Mitchell Starc have to pay the price for pulling out mid-way? Explained

The excitement of IPL 2025 is set to begin once again on May 17. However, the availability of foreign players has been a major challenge for many teams after the one-week postponement.

Many foreign players have returned to India for the remaining matches of IPL, but some have completely refused to come this season. One of them is the name of Australian legend Mitchell Starc. Starc was part of the Delhi Capitals team in IPL 2025.

Starc returned due to India-Pakistan tension

However, Mitchell Starc returned to Australia due to tensions between India and Pakistan. Starc was also involved in the match when there was a sudden blackout in the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala.

Many foreign players who played in this match were in shock, but now the situation has become normal and the tournament is starting again. In such a situation, there are many foreign players who have returned.

There is talk of imposing a penalty on Starc

Mitchell Starc was an important player for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, but Starc may be in trouble due to his non-return in the remaining matches. Starc was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 11.75 crore in the mega auction.

In such a situation, it is believed that the Delhi Capitals team can deduct the auction fee if he does not return for the remaining matches of the season, for which the Australian bowler is also said to be ready.

According to the report, Mitchell Starc may face a penalty of 400000 Australian dollars i.e. Rs 3.92 crore if he does not return to IPL 2025. This amount will be deducted from his auction fee.

Starc's performance in IPL 2025

Talking about Starc's performance in IPL 2025, he has taken 14 wickets in 11 matches for Delhi Capitals at an economy rate of 10.16. Starc bowled very economically this season. So, his return could prove to be a big loss for Delhi Capitals as the team is in dire need of wins to make it to the top four of the tournament. 

Delhi Capitals are currently fifth on the IPL 2025 Points Table and are among the four contenders for the playoffs’ spot. They have three matches remaining, and a win in at least two of them will take them closer to the qualification. Winning all three, will guarantee a top four finish.
