Indian wrestler and Olympic medal winner Sakshi Malik took social media by storm when she appeared to be utterly displeased with the unkept promise made by the Haryana government to offer her a sum of 2.5 crores and some land upon her arrival after successfully clinching the bronze medal at Rio 2016.

Sakshi created history by helping India to win its first medal in the competition, and in the process also became the first women wrestler to win a medal for India at the Olympic level.

On her return back at home, Sakshi was praised and applauded to no small level that her home state, Haryana needed to appreciate her efforts in a larger magnitude and hence the government decided to announce it was going to present her with the aforementioned awards.

However, with the government having taken no such step in a long time after her arrival, Sakshi took to Twitter in order to question the government's next move.
