After the country's top wrestlers accused outgoing WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment and intimidation, the IOA, on the instruction of the Sports Ministry, had formed the ad-hoc committee on April 27 to manage the day-to-day affairs of the federation and also conduct its elections

The IOA ad-hoc committee took the first step towards conducting the impending polls by gathering the voters list, which will be required to form the electoral college. It is noteworthy that the government has set a June 30 deadline for Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) elections.
The third member of the ad-hoc committee, a retired high court judge under whose supervision the elections will be conducted, is yet to be appointed by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).
