New Delhi: As wrestlers seek registration of an FIR against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the Delhi Police has submitted that a preliminary enquiry is required in the case before it is registered over the sexual harassment allegations levelled by the wrestlers.
According to reports, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informs Supreme Court that preliminary enquiry would be needed before lodging FIR against WFI president Brij Bhushan Singh over allegations of sexual harassment.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Supreme Court sought a response from Delhi Police and the Delhi government on the wrestlers’ demand to register an FIR.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Commission of Women (DCW) demanded to register an FIR against police officers for failing to register an FIR in the matter of sexual harassment with women wrestler.
Swati Maliwal, Chairperson, DCW said, “It’s been 5 days but the Delhi Police did not register an FIR on the complaint of Wrestlers regarding sexual harassment. This is Illegal. Section 166 A (C) IPC of the law says that if the policeman does not register an FIR for sexual harassment, an FIR can be lodged against him. We have sent a recommendation to file an FIR against the guilty police officers.”
