Brij Bhushan Singh said he hasn't yet received a copy of the First Information Report (FIR) filed by the Delhi police, and will only comment after he does.
Facing the toughest battle of his political and professional career, India's wrestling body chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh today appeared defiant during a show of strength at his home turf in Uttar Pradesh. Garlanded and surrounded by supporters in the Gonda district, Mr Singh said he hasn't yet received a copy of the First Information Report (FIR) filed by the Delhi police after complaints of sexual harassment against him by several women wrestlers. He said he won't comment on the matter until he receives it.
"I have not yet received the FIR copy. I will speak once I've received the FIR copy," the Wrestling Federation of India president said. He had on Friday welcomed the Delhi police's decision to file a case based on the allegations of sexual harassment made against him by the country's top wrestlers.
Mr Singh told reporters the wrestlers should have waited for the report of a committee that was tasked to look into the matter before they decided to sit on a protest in Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
"I am happy with the judiciary's decision. The Delhi Police will investigate the allegations, and I am ready to cooperate with them in every possible way. No one is bigger than the judiciary in this country. The order has come to file an FIR (first information report). The government had also said it had no objection to filing an FIR. I am not bigger than the Supreme Court. I welcome the order," Mr Singh told reporters.
