The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) handed four-year bans to five wrestlers, including U20 Asian Championship trials victor Deepanshu, after a verification check revealed they had used forged birth certificates. This decision is part of the governing body's intensified crackdown on age fraud within the sport.

Deepanshu, who finished first in the men’s 65kg freestyle category on Wednesday, has been removed from the roster. Pawan Balaji Dhayagude will replace him for the continental championship, which kicks off on June 27 in Pattaya, Thailand.
