Delhi Police on Friday took wrestler Sangeeta Phogat to outgoing WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's official residence to recreate the sequence of events that led to the alleged incident of sexual harassment. 

According to a PTI report, Phogat was accompanied by women constables and they were at Singh's residence for half an hour.

Delhi Police on Friday took wrestler Sangeeta Phogat to outgoing WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's official residence to recreate the sequence of events that led to the sexual harassment of which he has been accused.
According to sources, Phogat was accompanied by women constables.
"At 1.30 pm women officers took Sangeeta Phogat to Brij Bhushan's official residence in Delhi. They were there for half an hour. They asked her to recreate the scene and recall the places where she faced harassment," sources said.
The Delhi Police's Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing sexual harassment allegations against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president and BJP MP from Kaiserganj, Uttar Pradesh is likely to submit in the court its investigation report in the two cases registered against him by next week, officials said on Wednesday.
As part of its investigation, the SIT has questioned more than 180 people, the Delhi Police officials said.
Top wrestlers of the country, including Asian Games gold medallist Vinesh Phogat and Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, had been protesting against Singh and demanding his arrest for allegedly sexually harassing seven female grapplers, including a minor.
The protesting wrestlers on Wednesday met Sports Minister Anurag Thakur and agreed to suspend their agitation till June 15 after he assured them that a charge sheet against Singh will be filed by then and WFI elections will be held by the end of the month.
The Delhi Police has filed two FIRs against Singh.&nbsp;

<h2>After missing the FBK games in the Netherlands last month, Olympic Gold medallist Neeraj Chopra will also give the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland a miss.</h2>

Indian Olympic Champion Neeraj Chopra has withdrawn from the highly anticipated Paavo Nurmi Games 2023. The prestigious event, which has been a celebrated fixture in Turku, Finland since 1957, holds the esteemed title of a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event.
Neeraj gained significant recognition at last year's Finland meet, astonishing spectators with a national record-breaking throw of 89.30m, securing a well-deserved silver medal.&nbsp;
Just last month, Neeraj had withdrawn from the FBK Games in the Netherlands, citing a muscle strain sustained during training. This setback further prolonged his absence from the major competitive arena, spanning approximately eight months since his victorious performance at the Diamond League 2022 finals in Eugene, Oregon, back in September.
However, Neeraj did make a triumphant return to form on May 5th of this year at the Doha Diamond League, showcasing his exceptional talent and determination with a winning throw of 88.67m at the esteemed Qatar Sports Club.
Unfortunately, Neeraj's absence won't be limited to just the Paavo Nurmi Games; he will also miss the National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championships 2023. Fans will have to wait until June 27th for his next scheduled appearance at the Golden Spike Ostrava in the Czech Republic.
Despite these setbacks, Neeraj's sights are firmly set on two major upcoming events. He plans to compete in the highly anticipated World Athletics Championships in August, followed by the Asian Games in September, where he will aim to win another Gold medal.
Interestingly, Neeraj won't be the only high-profile athlete missing from the Paavo Nurmi Games. Johannes Vetter, a former world champion from Germany, has also made the difficult decision to skip the event. These two renowned competitors, who previously clashed at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, were expected to reignite their captivating rivalry at the Finnish meet.

With Team India's WTC Title hopes hanging in the balance, the pressure will be on Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane who will be looking to continue their solid partnership to chase the mammoth total of 444 against Australia

It all comes down to the final day as India and Australia look to claim their maiden World Test Championship title at the Oval.
With India needing 280 runs to win on the final day of the one-off test with 7 wickets in hand, it will surely be a testing battle between the two cricketing giants.
Having got themselves a comfortable 443-run lead, Australia declared their second innings at 270 for 8, giving Team India a challenging target of 444 to chase.
After a good start to the chase by Indian openers Rohit Sharma (43) and Shubman Gill, the latter got dismissed courtesy of a controversial 3rd umpire decision after which skipper Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara (27) lost their wickets.
However, it was Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane's sturdy 71-run unbeaten stand which took India to 164/3 at the end of Day 4.
With Team India needing to chase a record-breaking total of 444 runs at the Oval, it would take them nothing short of a miracle to get the victory.

After taking a look at multiple replays, third umpire Richard Kettleborough claimed Green had his fingers underneath the ball when he took the catch.

After the controversy over his wicket, Indian opener Shubman Gill took to social media to share his frustration at the decision.
In an Instagram story, the 23-year-old shared the image of Cameron Green's catch, where the ball is visibly touching the ground.
Gill, clearly upset with the decision also used applause emojis in what was clearly a dig at the call to give him out.&nbsp;

While the Englishman looked at a number of replays, the benefit of the doubt didn't go to the batter with Kettleborough claiming on air that the fielder had his fingers underneath the ball.
Indian fans though were aghast at the verdict and shared a number of images where the ball seemingly was touching the ground.

<h2>World number one Iga Swiatek has grabbed herself her 4th Grand Slam title by winning the 2023 French open</h2>

Top seed Swiatek overcame a second-set crisis and a third-set deficit to beat the unseeded Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 and collect her third French Open trophy and fourth Grand Slam title.
A nervous-looking Muchova, competing in her first Grand Slam final, struggled to find her rhythm in the opening set but recovered from a break down in the second to steal five of six games on her way to levelling at one-set all.
An intense deciding set saw the pair trade numerous breaks in an epic finale, with Swiatek using all her experience to find winners when it mattered.
The 22-year-old Pole claimed the last three games of the match which ended in a disappointing double fault from Muchova.
Swiatek dropped her racket, hunched forward and covered her face as she cried.
She becomes the youngest woman with four Grand Slam trophies since Serena Williams was 20 when she got to that number at the 2002 U.S. Open.

A clean catch or not? Controversy erupted over Cameron Green's catch of Shubman Gill in the second innings.

<h2>A clean catch or not? Controversy erupted over Cameron Green's catch of Shubman Gill in the second innings.&nbsp;</h2>

Shubman Gill's wicket in the second innings caused a huge controversy on the fourth day of the World Test Championship final.
Chasing a mammoth 444, India were off to a fantastic start at 41/0 after just 7 overs.
However, a Scott Boland delivery kicked up from a length to take the shoulder of Shubman Gill's bat.&nbsp;
Cameron Green, who had taken a blinder in the first innings to send Ajinkya Rahane back, dived to his left and seemed to have taken another sensational catch just millimetres above the ground.
However, Gill wasn't sure and when the third umpire was asked to check, replays were inconclusive, with many wondering if the ball had just kissed the grass before Green snaffled it.
Third umpire Richard Kettleborough though adjudged it to be a fair catch after going through multiple replays, stating Green's fingers were underneath the ball when he completed the take.&nbsp;
The third umpire's decision didn't go down too well with the Indian fans, who were fuming why the benefit of the doubt didn't go to the batter.&nbsp;
Even captain Rohit Sharma couldn't quite hide his frustration when the OUT decision flashed on the big screen, much to the disappointment of 90% of the fans at the ground.

With Asian Games coming up, Indian wrestlers have told the media they won't be taking part in the tournament if Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh isn't behind bars.

Indian Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik has alleged that the minor complainant in the sexual harassment case against former WFI Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh changed her statement under pressure.
"There's huge pressure on us to compromise," she said during an interview with NDTV, accusing Brij Bhushan of getting his men to call and threaten the complainants.
Protesting wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik said that the 'minor' wrestler's father is going through depression because of the pressure he has been put under, following which he also withdrew the complaint.
With the Asian Games coming up, Sakshi Malik has told the media that they won't be participating in the games if Brij Bhushan isn't arrested by then.
