According to the chargesheet filed by Delhi Police, based on their preliminary investigation, the president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) and departing BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is accused of sexual harassment, is "liable to be prosecuted and punished for offences" of stalking and molestation. Six female wrestlers registered complaints against Brij Bhushan Singh.

In the chargesheet, the police cited Sections 506 (criminal intimidation), 354 (outraging a woman's modesty), 354 A (sexual harassment), and 354 D (stalking) and noted that Singh's harassment in one instance was "repeated and continuing."

The Indian Express story further stated that Singh and the witnesses have been requested to appear in court by the Delhi police. According to the chargesheet, the police questioned 108 witnesses, of whom 15, including wrestlers, coaches, and referees, allegedly supported the athletes' claims.

Delhi Police filed the chargesheet on June 15th:

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar were the subjects of a charge sheet issued by the Delhi Police on June 15. This lawsuit was opened as a result of a complaint by female wrestlers. Six female wrestlers who have represented India internationally have accused Singh of sexual harassment. Singh has disputed the allegations, and an assistant has stated that the judiciary will establish his innocence. He is likely to spend three to five years in prison if found guilty.

The cops have now requested the court to summon the WFI chief to be summoned for the trial along with the witnesses. The personnel have spoken to a staggering 108 witnesses.
