New Delhi: A day after the Delhi Police registered two FIRs against the Wrestlers Federation of India (WFI) chief, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, for allegedly sexually harassing women wrestlers, the WFI chief on Saturday claimed that he is innocent and won’t resign from his post.
“I am innocent and ready to face the investigation. I am ready to cooperate with the investigative agency. I have full faith in the judiciary and I respect the order of the Supreme Court,” Singh said at a press conference.
He added: “Resignation is not a big deal, but I am not a criminal. If I resign, it will mean that I have accepted their (wrestlers’) allegations. My tenure is almost over. The government has formed a 3-member committee and elections will be held in 45 days & my term will end after the elections.”
Giving the allegations a political face, Brij Bhushan said: “I have been saying from the beginning that some industrialists and Congress are behind this protest. This is not a protest by wrestlers.”
The press conference came amidst the wrestlers’ protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi’.
Top Indian wrestlers have been protesting against the WFI chief and other coaches of the institution for allegedly sexually harassing women wrestlers.
