After Sports Minister Anurag Thakur publicly invited the wrestlers for talks, Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik met him at his residence for about six hours; they had met Home Minister Amit Shah a few days earlier. Thakur said the police probe would be completed and a chargesheet filed by 15 June and that WFI elections would be held by 30 June. The wrestlers said the government had also agreed to withdraw the 28 May FIRs against them. They suspended the protest until 15 June, and Punia said they would resume it if no action was taken by then. [2][3][1]
