Delhi Police withdraw security from women wrestlers: Vinesh

New Delhi: Top Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat on Thursday said that the Delhi Police have withdrawn security from the women wrestlers who are scheduled to testify against former WFI leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a Delhi court.

Vinesh and several other wrestlers, including her cousin Sangeeta Phogat, wife of Bajrang Punia, accused Brij Bhushan of sexual exploitation.

The Delhi Police had filed an FIR and subsequently filed a chargesheet against the BJP leader in the case. The next hearing in the case is on Friday.

“Delhi Police has withdrawn security of the women wrestlers who are going to testify against Brij Bhushan in court,” Vinesh tweeted, tagging @DelhiPolice and Delhi and State Women Commissions.

Vinesh reached the final of the Olympic Games in Paris, but was disqualified from the Games for being overweight before competing for gold.
