New Delhi– Delhi Police Seeks Cancellation of Sexual Harassment Case Against BJP MP and Wrestling Federation ChiefIn compliance with instructions handed down by India’s highest judiciary institution; police officials initiated proceedings that led to two FIRs being officially recorded on April 28th. The first of these complaints involved violations under POCSO alongside relevant segments listed within the Indian Penal Code (IPC). These actions were taken after allegations surfaced involving misconduct aimed at a minor party.
Brij Bhushan Singh, former chief representative at the Wrestling Federation in India (WFI) and present Member of Parliament under BJP, has been accused of allegations related to sexual assault. However, underneath this case lies an intrinsic question about his morality that has yet again cropped up amidst mounting controversies within WFI. It appears that finally, there may be some hope for dismissal as Delhi Police have presented their final report for cancellation following representation from victimized minor wrestler to New Delhi’s court, which will take it under consideration. The police stated that the cancellation report was based on statements from the minor girl and her father. It was also mentioned that a chargesheet had been filed against Brij Bhushan for offences related to sexual harassment and stalking.
According to the police report, no corroborative evidence was found to support the allegations made by the minor against Brij Bhushan Singh. The court has scheduled further consideration of the matter for July 4.
On April 28, two First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered against Singh at the Connaught Place Police Station in Delhi. Several women wrestlers had accused the outgoing WFI chief of sexual harassment. Singh vehemently denied all the charges, even stating that he would take his own life if a single allegation were proven against him.
Seven women wrestlers had complained of sexual harassment at the Connaught Place police station on April 21. Following instructions handed down by India’s highest judiciary institution, police officials initiated proceedings that led to two FIRs being officially recorded on April 28th. The first of these complaints involved violations under POCSO alongside relevant segments listed within the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
