On Saturday, the Delhi Police told a court that former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh ‘outraged the modesty’ of the women wrestlers at every opportunity he could get. The police told the court that he never missed any opportunity to harass any of the women wrestlers and argued that they had enough evidence to register charges against Singh.
Delhi’s Rose Avenue Court was hearing arguments for framing of charges against Singh after the police filed a chargesheet in the sexual harassment case against him by six women wrestlers.
Singh was exempted from appearing at the court on Saturday.
The Delhi Police filed the charge sheet against Singh on June 15 under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354A (sexual harassment), 354D (stalking) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The next hearing will be held on October 7.
