Even as former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is slated to appear before Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on July 18, details continue to emerge from the 1599-page chargesheet filed by the Delhi Police.
The chargesheet contains statements of 44 witnesses, besides six statements by the complainants which were recorded under CrPC 164.
Contents of the oversight committee's report were included in the Delhi Police chargesheet as an annexure. Several wrestlers in their complaints have accused the Mary Kom-led committee of having a biased approach towards the ex-WFI chief during the probe.
One of the complainants revealed, 'Even after giving my statement before the (oversight) committee whenever I visited the Federation office, the accused looked at me with distasteful and lustful eyes and made wrong gestures which made me feel insecure.'
The wrestler alleged, 'Even the video recording was being switched off and on while I was giving my statement and in spite of my request, the committee did not supply me a copy of my video recording. I fear that my statement may not have been recorded in entirety and may also have been tampered with to protect the accused.'
Another complainant stated that they were forcefully made a member of the Federation's Sexual Harassment Committee to look into similar matters.
'The accused, in conspiracy with accused No. 2 and other unknown persons, has deliberately done this to suppress my voice and allegations against him. He has, without my approval or consensus, made me part of the said committee and is now alleging that in spite of being part of the committee, I am falsely alleging to be a victim myself,' said the complainant.
