NEW DELHI: A team of Delhi Police on Thursday reached the Patiala House Court to file a status report in the case involving WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
Delhi Police recommended cancellation of case filed by minor wrestler against WFI chief. The police told the court that no corroborative evidence were found against the WFI chief.
“The cancellation report has been filed,” said public prosecutor Atul Srivastava after Delhi Police filed a cancellation report in the POCSO case against Brij Bhushan. The case was based on the allegations of the minor’s father, who recorded a fresh statement, later withdrawing the sexual assault charges.
“In the POCSO matter, after completion of the investigation, we have submitted a police report under section 173 Cr PC requesting for a cancellation of the case based upon statements of the complainant i.e., the father of the minor victim and the victim herself,” Delhi Police said.
The court has put up the matter for further consideration on July 4.
Meanwhile, another team of Delhi Police is said to have filed the chargesheet in the case at Rouse Avenue Court in the national capital.
The ACMM court of Deepak Kumar of Rouse Avenue Court has kept the matter for June 22 for consideration on cognizance point.
“The chargesheet has been filed under sections 354, 354D, 345A & 506 (1) of IPC,” said Special Public Prosecutor Atul Srivastava.
Sources said that the chargesheet contains statements of over 150 witnesses, but they also claimed that the chargesheet was ‘weak’.
In April, Delhi Police had registered two separate FIRs against Brij Bhushan based on sexual harassment allegations.
The first FIR pertains to the accusations made by a minor and has been filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, along with relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code concerning the act of outraging modesty.
The second FIR focuses on comprehensive investigations into the complaints made by adult complainants and involves relevant sections of the IPC related to outraging of modesty.
