India’s Olympic silver medallist Ravi Dahiya pulled out from the Bishkek Ranking Series due to knee injury.

“According to the Indian coaching staff, the Tokyo Olympic silver medalist injured his knee while warming up and won’t compete in Bishkek,” United World Wrestling said in a statement.

This was Dahiya’s first international competition in more than 10 months since he won gold medal in the men’s freestyle 57kg category at Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Dahiya was competing in a new weight category – 61 kg.

For the past few months, Dahiya was recuperating from his knee injury at the Chhatrasal stadium and it seems like it has aggravated.

In January, earlier this year, Dahiya was one of the leading faces of the wrestlers protest against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused of sexually harassing seven female wrestlers, including a minor.

However, this time around Dahiya had maintained a steadfast silence on the issue.
