Delhi Police urges court to frame charges against ex-WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh
The HinduDelhi Police on January 6 urged a court here to frame charges against BJP MP and former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a case of alleged sexual harassment of women wrestlers. The police opposed the contention of the accused that since some of the alleged incidents took place overseas, they do not fall in the jurisdiction of courts in Delhi, as it concluded arguments on framing charges against Mr. Singh. The police submitted before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Priyanka Rajpoot that the incidents of sexual harassment, allegedly committed by Mr. Singh, overseas and inside India, including Delhi, are part of the same offence. The city police had filed a charge sheet in the case against Singh, a six-time MP, on June 15, 2023, under sections 354, 354-A, 354-D and 506 of the Indian Penal Code.
