Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Priyanka Rajpoot also discharged Singh in a complaint filed by one of the six women wrestlers.

The court ordered framing charges for criminal intimidation against Singh and will formally do so on May 21.

It also directed the framing of charges against co-accused and former WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar in the case.
