Rouse Avenue Court’s Chief metropolitan magistrate (CMM) Mahima Rai Singh on Thursday transferred the sexual harassment case filed by wrestlers against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, to Additional CMM Harjeet Singh Jaspal. The matter has now been listed for further consideration before the court on June 27.
ACMM Harjeet Singh Jaspal is the judge who is currently hearing an application moved by the wrestlers seeking a court-monitored probe into the case of alleged sexual harassment.
The Delhi police, on June 15th, had filed a charge sheet against Mr. Singh for offences ranging from outraging modesty of a woman, stalking and other offences under the Indian Penal Code, in the Rouse Avenue Court. The police has also approached another court for cancellation of a case filed by a minor wrestler.
