Sources close to Sanjay Singh told IANS that he has refused to accept the ad-hoc committee and is planning to discuss the issue with the sports minister.

Expressing her commitment to stand by Malik in her pursuit of justice, Priyanka Gandhi highlighted the cases where women athletes, who have brought pride to India globally, accused BJP MP and former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment.

Expressing his discontent over the current situation in the wrestling body, Punia conveyed his dissatisfaction through this gesture.

Expressing his dismay over the recent developments in the WFI, Punia penned a letter to Prime Minister Modi, outlining the reasons behind his decision to return the award.

The court took note of the charge sheet filed in the case, responding to the claims made by six women wrestlers who have accused Singh of engaging in sexual harassment and intimidation.The summons were issued by the Rouse Avenue court.

The Delhi Police’s charge sheet running over 1,000 pages was filed before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahima Rai of the Rouse Avenue Courts for offences under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354A (making sexually coloured remarks), and 354D (stalking) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against accused Singh.

“After completing the investigation by the Delhi Police, the charge sheet was presented in the court on June 15. The legal battle of the wrestlers will continue in the court instead of on the road until justice is served. “Regarding the reform in WFI, the election process, as promised, has begun. We will wait for fulfilment of promises made by the government regarding the July 11 elections,” the statement by the wrestlers on twitter read.
