In a major development in the case against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, the Delhi Police paid a visit to the BJP MP’s Gonda home, officials said on Tuesday.
Statements of employees at Singh’s UP residence and his associates were recorded by the police. The team of officers checked their IDs and noted their addresses as well.
Officials added that cops are collecting evidence in connection with the case filed against the former WFI chief, and will submit a report in court accordingly.
"A team of Delhi Police visited Gonda and recorded statements of Singh's associates and those working at his house, including his driver. This is being done as part of further investigation to collect evidence and corroborate versions of the witnesses with that of Singh and the complainants in the case," an official said.
"Since the case is very sensitive, we cannot divulge any information regarding it," he added.
The country's top wrestlers, including Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, are protesting against the outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief, whom they have accused of sexually harassing women.
