WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's son Prateek on Friday said that Singh will issue a statement on allegations of sexual harassment against him after the sports body's Annual General Meeting.

The allegations have been made by some of the country's top wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Ravi Dahiya.
