WFI row: Court fixes July 7 for cognisance of charge sheet against Brij Bhushan Singh
New Delhi, July 1: Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court has fixed July 7 for consideration of cognisance of the chargesheet filed against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in the alleged sexual harassment case.
Earlier on Tuesday, Delhi's Rouse Avenue court scheduled a hearing on the charge sheet against Singh for July 1. "It is a lengthy charge sheet," stated Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh Jaspal. "It requires time to consider. The matter has been listed for consideration on July 1."
Delhi Police submitted that the supplementary is likely to be filed but that it will take some time because the FSL and CDR report are still awaited.
Following the submission, the court took note of the case and scheduled it for consideration of cognizance of the charge sheet on July 7.
The court stated that it's a lengthy chargesheet of 1500 pages, and it has to go through it.
On June 15, Delhi police filed a charge sheet against MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Vinod Tomar in the alleged sexual harassment case based on a complaint lodged by women wrestlers.
According to Special Public Prosecutor Atul Srivastava, the charge sheet was filed under sections 354, 354D, 345A, and 506 (1) of the IPC.
In addition, the police had filed a cancellation report in a POCSO case against Singh.
