Day after charges, minor’s father hopes to move on: ‘Shaken... wish wrestlers well’
Hindustan TimesHaryana: A day after Delhi Police asked a city court to quash a case against former wrestling federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, the father of the minor complainant is a study in contradictions. On Thursday, Delhi Police charged Singh with sexual harassment, stalking, and assault or force to outrage the modesty of a woman, but told a court to cancel the Pocso case due to a lack of corroborating evidence. The minor’s FIR alleged that Singh invited her to his room where he “tried making forceful physical contact with her” and asked the minor to meet him “personally” on another occasion. They thanked me for my support and told me they understand my position.” A persistent source of tension, he alleged, were the volley of threats he was receiving — not from Singh or his associates, but his own elder brother and father, who warned him with dire consequences if he didn’t back down.
