The Supreme Court on Tuesday said the sexual harassment allegations raised by seven women wrestlers against Wrestling Federation of India president and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh were “serious”.
A Bench led by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud decided to examine the petition filed by the grapplers regarding the non-registration of First Information Report (FIR) and listed the case for Friday.
The Bench, on a request made by the petitioners, directed their identities be redacted from the court’s records. The court said only petitions and records in which their identities have been redacted would be made available in the public domain.
