Wrestlers Protest: Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh Indicates He Won’t Go Down Without A Fight
“We are not talking to the media doesn’t mean we are not doing anything about it. We have written to the commissioner of Delhi Police, asking for an action taken report. We have also asked them why they have not registered an FIR,” Sharma told PTI on the sidelines of an anti-trafficking workshop in Srinagar.
She said the commission has received a complaint and acted on it.
“There were security issues of the complainants also involved as they did not want their names to be given out. That’s why we did not talk to the media about it,” Sharma added.
The country’s top wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat, are on a sit-in protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi since Sunday, demanding public disclosure of the findings of the oversight panel that investigated the sexual harassment allegations against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
Following allegations of sexual harassment and intimidation against Brij Bhushan by the top wrestlers, the sports ministry had formed the six-member oversight committee headed by Olympic medallist boxer MC Mary Kom to run the affairs of WFI and probe into the matter.
