New Delhi:  The Delhi police filed two FIRs against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) Chairperson Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Friday on the directions of Supreme Court.

The protesting wrestlers said that they won’t stop agitation until the arrest of, President of WFI Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh; they have no faith on Delhi police. They will respect the Supreme Court directions. Wrestlers said that they don’t have any faith in the Delhi police and their fight is not only limited to the FIR.  Our fight is to punish people like Brij Bhushan Singh who should be behind bars and removed from his portfolio, said the wrestlers.

Two FIRs have been registered at the Connaught Place police station on the complaints lodged by female wrestlers. The first FIR pertains to allegations by a minor, which has been registered under the POCSO Act along with relevant sections of the IPC concerning outraging modesty.

The second FIR is for a comprehensive probe into complaints by adults under relevant IPC sections pertaining to outraging of modesty. The Delhi Police were forced to take action as the matter came under the Supreme Court’s glare. To save face, the police told the court they have decided to book Singh on Friday itself.

Eminent sports personalities including Neeraj Chopra, Kapil Dev, Sania Mirza, Nikhat Zareen and others on Friday extended their support for the protesting wrestlers.

Delhi’s Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj and Women and Child Development Minister Atishi expressed support for the protesting wrestlers by visiting them. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will meet the wrestlers on Saturday, said an AAP official.

Apart from this, senior politicians like Ashok Gehlot, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Jayant Singh and others also shared words of solidarity. Wrestlers on Friday put up a poster at the protest site which highlighted the various cases that have been registered against the WFI President.
