The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) remains suspended by the Sports Ministry even as world governing body UWW had lifted its suspension in February following conduct of its election.
The ministry had suspended WFI on December 24, three days after it held elections where Sanjay Singh was elected the new President.

Ministry said the announcement was against the the rules since a 15-day notice was required so that players could prepare.
