With time passing by, the Delhi Police has now asked the court to frame the charges against Brij Bhushan Saran Singh. “Delhi court has jurisdiction to try this case,” the police told the judge.
The Delhi Police has gone on to provide evidences of the incidents of sexual harassment committed by the ex WFI president. The matter will be further heard by the court on 20th January.
The country was shocked when the wrestlers protested about Singh for the alleged charges. Following these incidents, the Delhi police went on to file charges against Singh under the sections of 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354-A (sexual harassment), 354-D (stalking) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
