A Delhi court is set to announce its verdict on April 15 regarding the cancellation of a sexual harassment complaint by a minor wrestler against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, former WFI chief. The complaint was deemed unsupported by evidence, particularly after the minor’s father admitted to making a false accusation. Singh still faces other allegations.
The Delhi High Court is reviewing former Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Singh’s plea to quash an FIR filed against him for sexual harassment following a Supreme Court intervention. Singh claims he was wrongfully accused and argues the investigation showed bias, with the next hearing set for January 13.
The Delhi High Court today restored the mandate of the Indian Olympic Association’s ad-hoc committee for the Wrestling Federation of India, following a plea by wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, and Satyawart Kadian. The court ruled that the dissolution of the ad-hoc committee was unwarranted and allowed IOA to reconstitute it with multi-member expertise in international federations.
