In what came as a major relief to disgraced Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the Delhi Police on June 15 (Thursday) handed a clean chit to the BJP MP and recommended the Patiala House Court to drop the POCSO case. The Dehli police filed a 500-odd page report in Patiala House court claiming 'no corroborative evidence was found' in the sexual harassment case filed by the minor against the WFI chief.
The Police officials arrived at the Patiala House Court on Thursday to file the cancellation report pertaining to this particular issue.
According to a source, as quoted by India Today, the minor has filed the sexual harassment case against Brij Bhushan out of anger after she was snubbed and not selected.
"I was not selected. I had worked very hard. I was in depression. So, in anger I filed a case of sexual harassment," an India Today source said quoting the minor wrestler.
The next hearing has been scheduled for July 4.
Earlier, the Delhi Police had filed two FIRs at PS Connaught Place at the behest of the Supreme Court.
The first one pertains to allegations levelled by a minor victim which is registered under the POCSO Act along with relevant IPC sections concerning outraging of modesty etc.
The second FIR is registered for carrying out comprehensive investigations into the complaints tendered by other, adult complainants under relevant sections pertaining to outraging of modesty etc.
