NEW DELHI: Nine days after the Delhi Police filed a chargesheet against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for alleged sexual harassment, the protesting wrestlers on Saturday said their fight against him continues and they are waiting for the charge sheet copy to decide on their next move.
In a joint address from their social media account, top wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik said if a strong case is not made against Singh they would resume their protest.“We do not think that our protest against Brij Bhushan is over. The government told us the charge sheet will be filed by June 15. It was done. Our lawyer is waiting to get a copy. We want to see whether Delhi Police has made a strong case or whether they have tried to save him,” Vinesh said.
“We’ll come in front of the people after that, decide if we want to come back to protest or go to court. We’ve anyway put our career, our lives, at stake for this fight and it will continue unless Brij Bhushan is arrested,” Vinesh, double world medallist, said.
It comes a day after criticism that the trio was trying to take an easy, one-bout route in the trial to qualify for upcoming international competitions.
