Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced that wrestler Vinesh Phogat will be honoured and rewarded like an Olympic silver medalist, despite her disqualification from the women's freestyle 50 kg wrestling due to being 100 grams overweight. The Indian Olympic Association disqualified Phogat from the event due to her weight, but she was deemed a champion for all.
