Anurag Thakur's remarks came days after the country's top wrestlers threatened to immerse their medals in the Ganga river in Haridwar.
Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur on Friday said everyone wants justice to be delivered to the wrestlers demanding action against outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, but it will happen only after following the due process of law.
Mr Thakur's remarks came days after the country's top wrestlers, protesting for more than a month over allegations of sexual harassment against Singh, threatened to immerse their medals in the Ganga river in Haridwar.
"The government favours an unbiased investigation...All of us want justice to be delivered, but it will happen after following the due process," Mr Thakur said in an interactive session at the India Economic Conclave organised by the Times Network.
The minister said the Delhi Police is investigating the case, which was filed after a government-appointed committee submitted a report on the allegations against Singh, who is also a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP.
