A day after the Delhi police forcibly dragged and arrested world-renowned wrestlers who were peacefully protesting and demanding the arrest of six-time BJP MP and three-time president of the Wrestling Federation of India, Brijbhushan Singh, in a case of sexual harassment, retired Supreme Court judges say the conduct of the police is “vindictive and disappointing.”
On May 28, Olympic medallists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, and Asian Games Gold medallist Vineesh Phogat, and Sangeeta Phogat, were sitting on the 35th day of their dharna at Jantar Mantar, demanding the arrest of Mr. Singh. However, they were dragged, forcibly pushed to the ground, manhandled, thrown into buses while they were preparing to go to Mahila Samman Mahapanchayat near the new Parliament Building.
