The Delhi Police chargesheet against Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh cites photograph evidence in at least four of the six complaints by women wrestlers, and video evidence in at least three instances of alleged sexual harassment as reported by Indian Express.

The 1,500-page chargesheet against Singh  for alleged sexual harassment, assault and stalking of six women wrestlers will be heard on June 22.

The chargesheet is a compilation of testimonies of the six wrestlers, statements of 70-80 witnesses and technical evidence such as photographs, videos and call detail records.

As per media sources police have cited photo and video evidence to corroborate the complaints.

There are photos from medal ceremonies, group photos and other events. Some were submitted by the wrestlers while others have been retrieved from other sources as per official.

“Many of the alleged incidents cited in the complaints are from the WFI office, tournaments, camps and events. We have also found a few videos that we have attached to corroborate the allegations. Now, it is up to the court to decide the nature of offence and punishment. We have simply put together technical evidence related to the complaints,” the officer said.

In the FIR lodged on April 28, one of the wrestlers alleged that while she was on the mat, Singh pulled up her T-shirt and placed his hand on her breast “on the pretext of examining/checking my breathing”.

Another wrestler alleged that after a tournament, Singh touched her inappropriately during a team photograph and “forcibly held her” by the shoulder when she objected. Similar allegations were made by another wrestler who said Singh sexually harassed her at the time a photograph was being taken.
