NEW DELHI: They had hoped for a favourable ruling from the Supreme Court, but the protesting wrestlers, already incensed over alleged police high-handedness on Wednesday night, suffered another roadblock in their fight for justice against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh as the apex court decided to close proceedings on the plea of sexual harassment allegations against the sidelined WFI chief, a BJP-strongman and six-time Lok Sabha MP.
None of the protesting wrestlers had anticipated this outcome on Thursday morning, expressing their faith in the judiciary during several media interactions after the government-appointed oversight committee refused to make public the findings of the report against Singh and the Delhi police delayed filing of FIR despite one of the seven complainants being a minor.
