Hours after sexual harassment allegations were levelled against him, Haryana Sports Minister Sandeep Singh on Sunday said that he has handed over the responsibility of the Sports department to Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar until the report of the investigation is out.

Singh further said that the allegations have been levelled against him to spoil his image

Earlier in the day, the Chandigarh police registered a sexual harassment and criminal intimidation case against Singh based on a complaint by a female coach. 

Demanding security, the woman reportedly held a press conference at the office of the opposition party Indian National Lok Dal (INLD). She shared details of the complaint at the presser.
