"Since the case is related to POCSO Act, the court has fixed July 4 as the next date of hearing," says public prosecutor Atul Srivastava. "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, as quoted by ANI.
Several Olympic medalists, including Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, alongside national champion Vinesh Phogat, among others, took to the streets to protest against the WFI chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh on sexual harassment charges.
These national heroes sat at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, asking for the arrest of Brij Bhushan. After months of drama, in late April, Delhi Police lodged two FIRs and ten complaints against him. Since no action was taken, the wrestlers met the Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur at his residence, promising them action against the accused following an investigation.
It was after meeting Thakur that the wrestlers decided to pause their protest.
