The referee accused him of molesting wrestlers, touching women wrestlers inappropriately forcefully hugging them and offering them training gear while he was inebriated. 

His barbarity was unbearable, the referee said. 

He also revealed that the female wrestlers left the dinner and went away. 

He further alleged that the former WFI chief had grabbed a woman wrestler in a place one should not touch a woman in March last year. 

When he was asked about remaining silent for so long, Singh said, 'When the protector himself becomes the assaulter there's nowhere to go'

As per him, the women and others feared for their careers as he was the WFI chief and had a massive influence.
