Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat Making Efforts To Ensure Sanjay Singh Doesn't Become WFI Chief: Report

India's top grapplers Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik are reportedly making a last-ditch effort to ensure Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's close aide, Sanjay Singh, does not become the Wrestling Federation of India chief.
