Hours after Commonwealth Games 2022 champion Vinesh Phogat appealed to all athletes, across disciplines, to stand united in the protest against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, Olympic champion shooter Abhinav Bindra took to Twitter to announce his solidarity with the athletes.

The Sports Ministry has not yet made public the findings of a six-member oversight panel that submitted its report on April 5.
