On Tuesday, a hearing was held in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court in the case of harassment of women wrestlers
against former Wrestling Federation of india (WFI) president and bjp mp Brij bhushan Sharan Singh. Now the
next hearing in the case of harassment of women wrestlers will be held on december 6. In the hearing held in
Rouse Avenue court on Tuesday, lawyer Harsh Bora filed written arguments on behalf of the wrestlers. The
public prosecutor will present his case on 6 December. Charges can be framed only on december 6.
Earlier on wednesday, the court had fixed november 28 for hearing the arguments on framing of charges against
Brij bhushan Sharan Singh in a case of sexual harassment by six female wrestlers. During the last hearing,
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh Jaspal had given three weeks time to the lawyers in the
case to file their written arguments and had stressed to the parties that the arguments would be completed in a
systematic manner.
BJP mp had made this claim
After the reply was filed on wednesday by Brijbhushan sharan Singh's lawyer, the judge had fixed the case for
further proceedings on november 28. The bjp mp had last raised questions on the jurisdiction of the delhi court
hearing the sexual harassment case against him on behalf of six women wrestlers and claimed that no charges
have been filed against him for any of his acts in the country. His lawyer had claimed that the alleged crimes
committed in Tokyo, Mongolia, Bulgaria, Jakarta, Kazakhstan, turkey etc. cannot be heard in this court.
However, Public Prosecutor (PP) Atul Kumar Srivastava had said that sexual harassment of the victims was a
continuing crime as it had never stopped.
