The wrestlers, in agreement with leaders from khap and kisan unions, had called for a women\u2019s mahapanchayat outside the Parliament. <br \/>They were briefly detained by the police before being let-off in the evening. Those detained included Olympic medallists Bajrang Punia and Sakshee Malikkh and double World Championships medallist Vinesh Phogat. <\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Embed-GFX3-0106-IPL\" msid=\"100672230\" width=\"600\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/42706777.gif\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-100672230,width-600,resizemode-4\/100672230.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The police have filed an FIR against the \u2018organisers\u2019 of the women\u2019s mahapanchayat.
