Share Photos, Videos: Delhi Police Asks Wrestlers For Proof In Case Against WFI Chief, Says Report

According to the FIR, the incidents took place between 2016 and 2019 allegedly at the WFI office at 21, Ashoka Road, which is also the address of Singh's MP bungalow. 

Two top female wrestlers have been asked by the Delhi Police to provide photos, audio and video as evidence for their allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The police have asked the athletes to submit the evidence supporting their allegations against Singh of touching their breasts and sliding his hand to the stomach — on the pretext of checking their breathing. This also included the photo of a “hug” that Singh is accused of by one of the complainants. 

As per a report by the Indian Express, one of the complainants stated in her FIR that Singh hugged her tightly for 10 to 15 seconds after she won a major medal overseas. The wrestler claimed that she had to keep her hand near her breast to avoid being groped. The police is said to have asked this wrestler for a photograph of the event when the hug happened, as per the report.
