Former Parliamentarian Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has petitioned the Delhi High Court to challenge the ongoing trial court proceedings against him. These proceedings stem from an FIR filed on complaints from several women wrestlers, accusing him of sexual harassment and outraging their modesty.
In his plea, Singh is contesting the FIR, the subsequent chargesheet, and the trial court's decision to frame charges. He seeks the quashing of all legal actions against him, including the FIR and trial court orders. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna is scheduled to hear the case on Thursday.
Last week, a trial court recorded a statement from one of the complainants in a vulnerable witness room. The court also directed city police to reinstate the security of another female wrestler who accused Singh of sexual harassment. On May 10, the trial court found sufficient material to proceed with the case. Two FIRs have been registered against Singh, with charges including sexual harassment and outraging the modesty of women.
