2 FIRs Registered Against WFI Chief
The Delhi Police on Friday filed two FIRs against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Friday in response to allegations of sexual harassment made by seven female wrestlers, as the chorus of support for the protesting wrestlers grew.
The First Information Reports (FIRs) were filed hours after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for Delhi Police, told a Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice P S Narasimha that a case will be registered on Friday. While one FIR relates to allegations of a minor wrestler and was registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, the other was related to outraging modesty.
