Atishi said she was heartbroken to see the plight of the wrestlers but the Centre is not bothered. I was watching a TV debate yesterday and when I saw the wrestlers here break down, I was heartbroken. I thought to myself what kind of a central government do we have. Even a person with a heart of stone will break down after listening to the stories of harassment that these wrestlers have faced. But still Modi ji and his government do not care about these athletes, she said. (Image: Twitter/@AamAadmiParty)
Meanwhile, Delhi Police on Friday filed two FIRs against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on allegations of sexual harassment levelled by seven women wrestlers. While the first FIR pertains to allegations of a minor wrestler and was registered under POCSO Act, the second was related to outraging modesty. (Image: Twitter/@AamAadmiParty)
The FIRs were registered hours after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for Delhi Police, told a Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha that a case will be registered later during the day. (Image: Twitter/@AamAadmiParty)
