Controversy erupted during Vinesh Phogat’s second bout at the Asian Games trials in Delhi after the referee stopped the action just as she was close to pinning Nishu. Nishu had taken a 5-0 lead early, but Vinesh fought back and threw her onto the mat. The stoppage angered Vinesh's husband Somvir Rathee, who confronted officials. Vinesh went on to win.
