"We all five had match tickets and we were going to watch the game. Delhi Police took our tickets first, then we were taken to an uncertain location," Sakshi told IANS.

"Police said that they would give us VIP treatment but tried to detain us. We then demanded our tickets and said we won't watch the game now and returned," said another wrestler.
