Amid a raging protest by some star wrestlers against the chief of the wrestling federation Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, details have emerged of how he allegedly molested several athletes.

In the FIR filed by Delhi Police, at least 6 adult wrestlers claimed to have been physically harassed, as per an Indian Express report.

One wrestler said that the BJP MP groped her breast and stomach at a hotel restaurant, and again at his office on the pretext of checking her breathing.

Wrestler number 2 said that once when she was on the wrestling mat, Singh pulled up her T-shirt and touched her breast and stomach with the excuse of examining her breathing. She said that he tried to have forceful physical contact in his office too.

Wrestler number 3 made a similar allegation of her T-shirt being pulled up and her stomach touched.

Another athlete claimed that when she was standing in the last row for a team photograph, Singh stood next to her and touched her buttock, and didn't allow her to move away.
