The Delhi Police may have escaped censure by the Supreme Court for the time being by registering FIRs on sexual harassment complaints raised by top women wrestlers, but there is a pall of silence about the victims’ plea in court to prosecute police officers for allegedly delaying the action.
On April 25, the court said the sexual harassment allegations levelled by the wrestlers, including a minor, against BJP MP and Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh were “serious”.
The wrestlers repeatedly sought the prosecution of the police officers who did not register an FIR on their complaints, which had forced them to approach the top court in the first place.
