The Indian Express reported that Jagbir Singh, an international referee is another witness who verified the accusations of sexual harassment by the wrestlers in his testimony to the Delhi Police.

Earlier, the news media publishing company had reported that an Olympian, a Commonwealth Games gold medallist, a state-level coach and an international referee had corroborated the allegations of at least 3 complainants.

While referring to a team photograph, Singh said that the Delhi police had asked him about it and he told them that he saw the complainant standing next to Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh but then came to teh front.

Noting that something wrong had happened to the wrestler, Singh admitted to seeing her 'freeing herself, pushing away, mumbling and moving away'

'She was reacting and was uncomfortable', he added.

He also accepted that though he did not see him doing the act, Jagbir said, 'he used to keep touching wrestlers saying come here and stand here'

Singh who is one of the 125 potential witnesses from across four states corroborated the allegations of one of the 6 wrestlers who have alleged sexual harassment by Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

One of the wrestlers had accused Brij Bhushan of 'placing his hands on the buttocks' while the team was posing for a group photo at the end of the trials in Lucknow for the Asian Championships last year.
