There is no doubt that the protesting wrestlers` fight for justice in Delhi`s Jantar Mantar is turning out to be an `expensive` one as arranging for even the most basic needs is burning a hole in their pocket. Despite the hurdles along the way, the wrestlers are prepared for a long haul at the famous protest site, where they have assembled demanding the arrest of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment and intimidation.
According to sources, the wrestlers have spent over Rs. 5 lakh in five days for arranging mattresses, bed sheets, fans, speakers and microphones, and a mini power gen-set, apart from water and food. Initially, they took mattresses, bed sheets, and the sound system on rent, shelling out Rs. 27,000 for a single day. Soon they realised that if they have to sit in for a long period, arranging for even little things would become a huge financial burden.
