Top wrestlers in India who earlier in January protested over alleged sexual exploitation of women wrestlers by the Wrestling Federation of India chief, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, and other trainers, are back at Delhi's Jantar Mantar with a fresh police complaint.
A local body that looks after women’s issues in Delhi, the Delhi Commission for Women, has issued a notice to Delhi Police for failing to register an FIR in the matter. The wrestlers had complained to the Commission that they had given a written complaint to the Delhi Police two days back, but their FIR had not been registered so far.
Meanwhile, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is a BJP MP, has refuted the charges, stating that he will commit suicide if they are found to be true. Awaiting a report by a government panel on the sexual harassment allegations against him, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has served three four-year terms as president in a row, and according to the Sports Code ineligible to contest for the top post again, after completing 12 years as WFI chief, has said that he will not contest for the president’s post in the WFI election on May 7 but hinted that he might look for a new role within the federation, according to the NDTV.
