BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh tells Court he wasn’t in Delhi when female wrestler was sexually harassed

Six wrestlers had levelled sexual harassment allegations against Singh. Based on their complaints, the police had registered a first information report (FIR).

On June 15, 2023, the police filed a chargesheet against Singh for offences under Sections 354 (outraging modesty), 354A (sexually coloured remarks), 354D (stalking) and 506(1) (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The complainants had earlier moved the Supreme Court earlier for the registration of an FIR against Singh.

Subsequently, the Supreme Court was informed by Delhi Police that an FIR was registered and that the investigation was on track.

A minor wrestler had also levelled allegations against Singh. However, she later withdrew her complaint and the Delhi Police filed a cancellation report in that case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act).
