Sexual harassment case: enough evidence to put Brij Bhushan on trial, Delhi police tell court

The Delhi police on Friday told the Rouse Avenue court that there is enough evidence against outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for him to be put on trial in the sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers.

Public prosecutor Atul Srivastava submitted before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh Jaspal that charges must be framed against Mr. Singh and co-accused Vinod Tomar for the offences mentioned in the chargesheet.

The Delhi police had filed a 1,000-page chargesheet on June 15 against the accused for offences under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354A (sexual harassment), and 354D (stalking) of the Indian Penal Code.
