Persistent drizzle disrupted the wrestlers' protest on Monday and caused a bit of chaos even as more support poured in for the athletes with former India cricketer and Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu demanding "custodial interrogation" of WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

The supporters, largely farmers and khap members, jostled for space to save themselves from rain in the afternoon. The mattresses were quickly removed from the road and put in a corner inside the makeshift shed that was covered with multiple waterproof tarpaulin sheets.
The elderly moved inside the shed and, in the chaos, a big fan fell on one of them.
The determined wrestlers said they won't leave the protest site and will brave the weather conditions.
"We will not move from here. We will continue to sleep here, even if it means sleeping on wet mattresses. We are not going to leave," Bajrang Punia told PTI.
"The weather is going to be like this for the next two days, but we are ready to face these obstacles."
The Delhi Police is yet to record the statements of the victims, who have levelled allegation of sexual harassment against Brij Bhushan, officials said.
Police are likely to question Brij Bhushan in connection with the FIRs, though no official notice has been served on him as yet.
