Delhi Police To Provide Security To Protesting Wrestlers

New Delhi: Seven wrestlers, including a minor, who have accused Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) head Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment will be provided security by the Delhi Police, an official informed.

The wrestlers have accused Singh of taking advantage of female competitors sexually both domestically and abroad.

A senior police official declared, “We will give the wrestlers security and soon record their comments.

Top wrestlers protesting at the Jantar Mantar were given a copy of one of the two FIRs filed against Singh on Saturday.

In response to the charges of sexual harassment made by female wrestlers, the Delhi Police purportedly filed two FIRs against the departing WFI chairman in the evening after notifying the Supreme Court on Friday that they would do so.

Olympic medalists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, as well as Asian and Commonwealth Games medalist Phogat, are among the top wrestlers who are protesting at the Jantar Mantar to demand that Singh be held accountable for allegedly harassing female wrestlers.
