In an apparent snub to Dronacharya awardee wrestling coach Satpal Singh, Sports Minister MS Gill asked him to step aside during a photo opportunity with World Championship gold medallist wrestler Sushil Kumar at his residence here today.

The incident took place when Sushil, along with his personal trainer Satpal and national team coach Yashvir, visited Gill's official residence to meet him after becoming the first world champion Indian wrestler in Moscow on Sunday.
