WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh tells Apex Court that he should be heard on women wrestlers' allegations

Today, WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh told the Supreme Court that he should be heard by the top court on women wrestlers' allegations of sexual harassment against him.

Senior advocate Harish Salve, counsel for Sharma submitted that it's not just a matter of Delhi Police registering an FIR against the WFI president.

A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud and Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala decided to close the case after noting that the prayer in the plea for registration of first information report (FIR) has been satisfied.

The CJI asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta if the complainants' statements had been recorded before a magistrate.

Mehta -- who represents Delhi Police -- told the Bench that the investigation was on and the complainant wrestlers had been provided with security as directed by the court.

Salve said if further directions are to be issued, the WFI chief should be heard.

Mehta said the complainant had been examined. Two other people would be investigated on Friday, Mehta said.
