Wrestler protest: Brij Bhushan tried bribery, threats for sexual favours, as per FIR

With details emerging from FIRs filed against wrestling federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, at least two wrestlers have alleged bribery and coercion attempts by the BJP MP, as per an Indian Express report.

One wrestler said that Brij Bhushan sought sexual favours in exchange for buying her supplements which she may need as an athlete. The wrestler said that as she did not possess a mobile phone at the time, Brij Bhushan made her talk to her parents on the phone. Then, he allegedly called her towards his bed and hugged her suddenly without permission.

Another wrestler has said that Brij Bhushan pulled her towards him on the pretext of getting a photograph clicked. When she resisted, Brij Bhushan allegedly said, "Are you acting too smart? Don't you want to participate in future tournaments?"
