Top Indian wrestlers were fighting with the police just a few kilometres away at the time that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was delivering his inaugural speech, and tensions on the streets of New Delhi have since subsided. Indian wrestlers like vinesh fogart, sakshi Malik, and bajrang punya attempted to march from their site of protest towards the new Parliament building.
