Sakshi Malik Reveals Harassment By Brij Bhushan Singh In 2012, Calls For Continued Reform In Wrestling
Reflecting on that period, she explained that speaking out could have cost her career, so she prioritised continuing her training and competing internationally, even though the environment was extremely challenging.
"I wanted to write a book for a long time, especially after the Olympics. I wanted my story to be told. I wanted it to inspire and inform many girls because of my struggles. I wanted everyone to know. After the protests, I decided this, and after a few days, I started hearing things about seniors. People said things like, 'This is the man,' and 'He's like that.' In 2012, I had an accident when then-president Brij Bhushan Singh harassed me. I knew that this was wrong and I said straightforward no to it, I have also told the story in my book, that time was really difficult for me," Sakshi told IANS.
