Seven female wrestlers filed a criminal case against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused of groping young athletes.
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, also a federal lawmaker from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party, is the subject of a criminal case filed by seven female wrestlers who accused him of groping young athletes at training camps and tournaments.
"I will not comment on the allegations. I am waiting for the court order on this case," Singh told reporters at the Sunday gathering near his political constituency in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. He has been the president of the Wrestling Federation of India for nearly a decade. His son is a local lawmaker and also an official at the federation.
Images of athletes being dragged away and carried off in buses went viral, sparking criticism from leading athletes and opposition politicians. Wrestlers eventually secured meetings with government ministers after threatening to throw their medals into the Ganges River.
