The police made the submission before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh Jaspal during the argument on whether to frame charges against Singh in the case. “Brij Bhushan Singh was not exonerated by the oversight committee. The committee had given recommendations, not the decision,” the public prosecutor told the court.
Brij Bhushan Singh appeared before the court during the proceedings. The Union Sports Ministry had constituted an oversight committee headed by Indian boxing great MC Mary Kom to investigate the allegations levelled by women wrestlers against Singh after their protest in the national capital.
Its report was not made public but a copy was given to the Delhi police who are probing the allegations against Brij Bhushan Singh. Delhi police will resume its arguments on charges against Singh on September 23.
