SIT Formed to Probe Sexual Harassment Allegations Against WFI Chief: Police to Delhi Court

The SIT team has 10 officials, including a female Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).

New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Friday informed a court here that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to investigate the sexual harassment allegations against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

In the Rouse Avenue court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh Jaspal, Public Prosecutor Atul Srivastava submitted that a status report has been filed in the case under a sealed cover and that it must not be disclosed as the case involves sexual offences.

“The team has been set up to collect inputs from different states based on complaints filed by female wrestlers,” said the official.

The court was also informed that the statement of one of the victims before the concerned magistrate under Section 164 of Criminal Procedure Code will be recorded on the day.

The court has posted the matter for hearing next on May 27.

On Wednesday, the court had sought from the Delhi Police a status report in the matter.
