Police book wrestling chief after SC steps in

Delhi Police have filed two FIRs in connection with sexual harassment allegations against six-time parliamentarian and Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The case was brought by several top Indian wrestlers, including Olympic bronze medallists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik and two-time World Championships medallist Vinesh Phogat. The athletes have been holding a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi since Sunday, demanding Singh’s arrest. The court has directed Delhi Police to file an affidavit indicating the steps taken and the matter will be heard again in a week.
