New Delhi, May 26 (UNI) A Delhi court on Monday accepted the closure report filed by Delhi Police in a sexual harassment case against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Gomti Manocha after the hearing said, “Cancellation accepted. File be consigned to RR.”
In this matter, the Connaught Place police station had registered an FIR under section 10 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and 354/354A,354D/34 of Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The Police had earlier sought cancellation of the minor wrestler’s complaint against Singh by submitting that no corroborative evidence was found.
In this matter during an in-chamber proceeding in the month of August 2023, the minor had submitted that she was not opposing the closure report and was satisfied with the investigation of Delhi Police.
The police had recommended the dropping of the POCSO Act case against Singh on June 15, 2023, when the father of the minor made a startling claim through the probe that he had made a false complaint of sexual harassment against Singh to get back at him for perceived injustice to the girl.
