The 26-year-old replied to the notice sent to him by the WFI on Friday.
A source aware of the developments said, “WFI has received a reply and Vinesh has tendered an apology.”
“But it is quite possible that despite the apology, he may still not be allowed to travel to the World Championships,” sources said.

WFI has said that it will not allow them to interfere in the affairs of senior wrestlers in future.
