A day the protest over the issue of sexual harassment allegations against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh resumed at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, protesting wrestlers have moved the Supreme Court seeking FIR against the wrestling body chief.
Delhi Police, meanwhile, has sought report from the sports ministry in regards to the status of the oversight committee.
A six-member oversight committee was formed in January this year by the sports ministry after discussions with the wrestlers over the allegations against WFI chief. The committee, headed by boxer Mary Kom, was supposed to look after day to day activities of WFI.
Protesting wrestlers, meanwhile, spent the night on footpath in their stir against Brij Bhushan. The wrestlers who had called off their protest earlier this year after assurances that a committee would probe the allegations, say that they will remain at the protest site till police file a complaint against the WFI chief.
