KARACHI: The ongoing National Wrestling Championship in Gujranwala descended into chaos on Saturday after altercations between wrestlers spiraled into physical brawls, involving team officials and supporters in the crowd, forcing the suspension of matches for the day.
The incident began with a minor dispute between Wapda’s Irfan Bhola and the Higher Education Commission’s Ibrahim over a referee’s decision to award a point to the former.
Footage of the melee at the Jinnah stadium on TV channels showed the two wrestlers arguing after the point was awarded and later they started grappling and punching each other.
