New Delhi: Expressing disappointment over the FIR lodged against her and fellow wrestlers, Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik has said the whole world is watching how the government is treating its sportspersons.

Taking to Twitter, Sakshi Malik slammed the Delhi Police, saying it did not take “even seven hours” to register the case while it took “seven days” to book Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

“It takes seven days for Delhi Police to register an FIR against Brij Bhushan who sexually assaulted the wrestlers and it didn’t even take seven hours to register an FIR against us for peacefully protesting. Has dictatorship started in this country? The whole world is watching how the government is treating its sportspersons,” tweeted Olympic medallist wrestler Sakshi Malik.
