A source associated with the Wrestling Federation of India has told PTI, "This is gross indiscipline. She has been temporarily suspended and banned from all wrestling activities.
She will not be able to participate in any national or domestic event until the Wrestling Federation of India takes a final decision on this.
The Wrestling Federation of India faced criticism from the Indian Olympic Association as to why they (the Wrestling Federation of India) could not keep their players under control. The Indian Olympic Association has issued a notice to the Wrestling Federation of India in this matter."
No way kept from Indian players:
Officials accompanying the Indian contingent in Tokyo have told PTI that Vinesh Phogat created a ruckus there that she would not stay in the rooms next to Indian players Sonam, Anshu Malik and Seema Bisla as these players came from India and She can get infected by them.
This official also said that, "She did not play with any Indian wrestler. It seemed as if she had come with the Hungarian team and she had nothing to do with the Indian team.
