Delhi Police quiz wrestling body chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh twice in sexual assault case: Reports

The police, who have formed a Special Investigation Team to probe the matter, have questioned around 200 people in the case as well, said reports.

The police will file a status report in the court, listing the details of all the inquiries they have held so far.

As per reports, the police have looked into every allegation and questioned the people allegedly present at the time.

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh earlier claimed that he will come out clean from the charges of sexual harassment levelled against him by the wrestlers.

Singh had said he has full faith in the judiciary and also expressed faith in the investigating agencies. He claimed that he and his supporters will get justice.

On April 29, two separate police cases were filed against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, after allegations of sexual harassment by seven wrestlers, one of them a minor.

The cases were filed after the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Delhi Police. One of them is under POCSO, the stringent law against sexual assault of children.

Meanwhile, India's top wrestlers, including Sakshee Malikkh, Vinesh Phogat, and Bajrang Punia, who have been at the forefront of the massive protest against Singh, have resumed their duties in the Railways.

However, both Malikkh and Punia have denied the reports of withdrawing from the protest. "This is our fight for justice. We will not step back," Malikkh told reporters as quoted in media channels.

"We have resumed our duties in Railways, but we are also working on our future strategy," she said.

The protesting wrestlers had also met Home Minister Amit Shah late Saturday evening to request an impartial probe against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment by seven female wrestlers, including a minor.

The development occurred days after the protesting wrestlers were evicted from Jantar Mantar in Delhi, where they had been protesting since April.

The wrestlers were detained on May 28 as they attempted to stage a demonstration outside the newly inaugurated Parliament building, where Singh was also present.

Following the alleged manhandling of the wrestlers during the detention, they announced their decision to immerse their medals into the river Ganga in Haridwar.

Later they temporarily shelved their plan after intervention from farmer leader Naresh Tikait.

The Delhi Police had accused the protesting wrestlers of rioting during their protest march to the new Parliament, saying they broke the law in a frenzy despite repeated requests.
