Former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has approached the Delhi High Court, seeking to quash all criminal proceedings against him, including the FIR and chargesheet accusing him of sexually assaulting women wrestlers during his tenure as Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief. According to The Indian Express report, Singh is also requesting that the charges framed against him by a Delhi trial court be nullified. The petition is scheduled for a hearing before Justice Neena Bansal Krishna on Thursday.
