'I have not escaped': WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh says he will co-operate after Delhi police file FIR

Firstpost  

Singh’s statement comes after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Supreme Court of India that the Delhi Police would file an FIR against the BJP MP. Under-fire Wrestling Federation of India president and Bharatiya Janata Party MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Friday insisted he had not run away amid ongoing protests by leading wrestlers against him, and that he would fully co-operate with the Delhi Police. Singh’s statement comes after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Supreme Court of India that the Delhi Police would file a First Information Report against the BJP strongman from Gonda, Uttar Pradesh over allegations of sexual harassment. Several leading wrestlers, including Olympic medallists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik and world championships medallist Vinesh Phogat, resumed their protest against Singh and the WFI at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, demanding action against Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassing several athletes besides subjecting them to mental harassment as well as carrying out financial misappropriation.
