Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Sunday stated that he is willing to undergo narco-analysis or polygraph test in order to resolve the sexual harassment accusations against him. However, he has a condition.
Taking to Facebook, WFI Chief stated: "I am ready to get my narco test, polygraphy test or lie detector done but my condition is that along with me Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia should also undergo these tests. If both the wrestlers are ready to get their test done, then call the press and announce and I promise them that I am also ready for this."
The demonstration by the wrestlers has become louder and has received additional backing from farmers in Haryana. Today, during a gathering of khap panchayat in Meham a resolution was passed demanding that WFI Chief Singh must undergo a narcotic test and be subjected to legal consequences.
