Delhi Police Chargesheet Against Former WFI Chief Cites Technical Evidence Of Sexual Harassment

The Delhi Police chargesheet includes various pieces of technical evidence supporting the allegations made by six top wrestlers against Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

The evidence against Singh includes two photographs allegedly showing him making advances towards one complainant, his phone location matching another complainant's testimony, and a set of photos confirming his presence at an event where an alleged incident of sexual harassment occurred.

However, it is noted that there was no Visitor's Register or CCTV footage available at the WFI office on Ashoka Road, which is Singh's home and the location of at least two incidents of sexual harassment according to the complaints.

The chargesheet concludes that Singh is liable to be prosecuted and punished for the offenses of sexual harassment, molestation, and stalking under Sections 506, 354, 354A, and 354D of the Indian Penal Code.

The chargesheet highlights the technical evidence provided by the WFI, such as photographs and videographs of various events, which strongly support the complainant's allegations regarding the presence of Singh.

Each complaint is outlined with the corresponding allegations and the status of the technical evidence:

Wrestler 1: Allegations: Singh forcibly hugged the complainant after a wrestling medal ceremony and again after the complainant lost a bout in the wrestling league. Evidence: Two photographs show Singh making advances towards the complainant, supporting the allegations.

Wrestler 2: Allegations: Singh asked the complainant to engage in a physical relationship in exchange for help with an injury. Evidence: The complainant's coach's mobile tower location was near the vicinity of the WFI office during the alleged incident.

Wrestler 3: Allegations: Singh touched the complainant's buttock forcefully while they were posing for a team photograph. Evidence: Photographs provided by the WFI show the complainant sitting in the front row with other wrestlers, with Singh also present, corroborating the allegations.

Evidence: The chargesheet mentions that a notice was sent to the WFI requesting photographs and details of the hotel and room number where the wrestler stayed, but no reply has been received so far.
