While Delhi Police seek cancellation of the FIR filed under POCSO, India's ace wrestler Sakshi Malik who has been one of the prominent faces of the wrestlers' protest against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has questioned the investigation of the police in the matter.
The lone minor wrestler whose father changed the statement has backtracked from the sexual assault allegation saying that he had falsely accused the Wrestling Federation of India chief.
However, Malik flagged concerns around the retraction and told The Indian Express, 'In the POCSO case if Brij Bhushan was arrested when the minor's statement was first recorded before the magistrate then the minor would not have withdrawn her complaint, and not only that, other girls would have come forward and complained about the sexual harassment, there was pressure and threats is what I have heard. The court will have to decide what to do'
Delhi Police on June 15 informed that after the completion of their investigation they have filed an application for the cancellation of the FIR in teh Patiala House Court.
