Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh
A Delhi court on Friday dismissed an application filed by former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh seeking further investigation into a sexual harassment case lodged by six female wrestlers against him.
While dismissing the application, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Priyanka Rajpoot fixed May 7 for an order on whether to frame charges against Singh in the case.
Singh had moved the application seeking time to make further submissions on charges and for further investigation, stating he was not in India during one of the incidents, where a complainant alleged harassment at the WFI office.
Singh’s counsel argued that Delhi Police had relied on call detail records (CDR) of the coach accompanying the complainant, claiming they visited the WFI office on September 7, 2022, where she was allegedly molested, but the CDR was not submitted as evidence.
Delhi Police had filed a charge sheet in the case against Singh, a six-time MP, on June 15 under sections 354, 354A, 354D, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code, also charging Vinod Tomar, the suspended assistant secretary of the WFI, in the case. (With inputs from PTI)
