Vinesh Phogat's husband Somvir Rathee on Sunday made it very clear that the wrestler has not received any money after her heroics at the Paris Olympics 2024 earlier this month.
Phogat has been promised cash prizes worth ₹16.35 crore in total by various political parties, private companies and businessmen here in India but she hasn't received anything from anyone yet.
Her husband took to social media to reveal the breakup of the cash rewards announced, in response to a tweet from Rashtriya Loktantrik Party president Hanuman Beniwal claiming that they gave ₹21 lakh to Vinesh for her Olympic performance.
"Vinesh Phogat has not received any money from the following organizations, businessmen, companies and parties. All of you are our well-wishers, please do not spread false news. This will not only harm us but will also harm social values. This is just a means to gain cheap popularity," Rathee tweeted.
