After the first sit-in at Jantar Mantar (18-20 January 2023), the Sports Ministry formed an Oversight Committee headed by M.C. Mary Kom to enquire into the allegations of sexual misconduct, harassment, financial irregularities and administrative lapses, and to run the WFI's day-to-day administration during the enquiry. It gave the committee four weeks and told the WFI executive committee to stop managing day-to-day activities; Sports Minister Anurag Thakur said Singh would step aside meanwhile. The committee submitted its report in April 2023. The report was not made public; the Ministry's 24 April letter to the IOA listed general findings, such as the absence of an Internal Complaints Committee, and did not mention specific charges against Singh. Sakshi Malik said the wrestlers had reasons to believe the accused had been given a clean chit. [3][4][2][5][1]
