As a result of Satender’s indiscretion, the WFI chief banned him for life from all wrestling-related activities, while a case of physical assault and manhandling was registered against the wrestler by Jagbir at the IP Extension police station.

After hitting the referee, Satender immediately left the venue with his supporters while Jagbir was comforted by fellow referees and coaches.
