Two of the seven female wrestlers have come out and registered cases against WFI Chief Brij Bhushan.

There were eight reports of sexual harassment, which occurred in a restaurant, an office, a competition, and a warm-up. The names of the two wrestlers have not been revealed, according to the article.

One of the two wrestlers said the WFI head tried to grope her and improperly touch her on two consecutive occasions when she was called to the office. While he stroked her legs and shoulder on the first day, Brij Bhushan touched her breast and stomach on her second visit two days later, stating he needed to examine her breathing pattern, according to the report.

It went on to say that the second wrestler described how she had experienced identical scenarios as the first wrestler. In her complaint to Delhi Police, she claimed that Brij Bhushan raised her training jersey without her consent and proceeded to touch her breast and stomach under the guise of monitoring her breathing pattern in 2018.
