Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur had assured Olympic medal-winning wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Sakshee Malikkh that a chargesheet in this case would be filed by June 15.
The Delhi Police is expected to file a chargesheet today in connection with sexual harassment allegations made by female wrestlers against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
On June 7, Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur met Olympic medal-winning wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Sakshee Malikkh and assured them that a chargesheet in this case would be filed by June 15. Following this assurance, the wrestlers suspended their protests.
The Delhi Police have written to wrestling federations of five countries to request information about alleged sexual harassment incidents involving Mr Singh. The federations have not yet responded, but once they do, the police will file a supplementary chargesheet.
The probe team sent notices to wrestling federations in five countries, requesting photos, videos, and CCTV footage of the tournaments and the places where the wrestlers stayed during their matches.
