A suspected human trafficking attempt has come to light after individuals posing as Indian wrestlers sought visas from the Hungarian Embassy in New Delhi for a purported competition in Budapest.
The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) swiftly responded and said that the documents submitted by them were fake.
The federation pointed out discrepancies in the document, including the use of the name of a former office-bearer in an incorrect capacity.
WFI President Sanjay Kumar Singh said in a reply to the embassy, "This has reference to your e-mail dated March 12 seeking clarification regarding the authenticity of the document... the attached letter is fake and has not been issued by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI)."
The federation urged the embassy not to process any visa applications based on the forged document and called for action against those involved.
The incident could potentially be linked to a human trafficking attempt, with individuals allegedly trying to travel abroad by posing as sportspersons using forged federation documents.
