In a tweet, Phogat further stated that despite numerous attempts to file a FIR with the Delhi Police against the WFI president, their efforts had been futile.

Digital Desk: Top wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, have petitioned the Supreme Court to file a FIR against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) head Brij Bhushan Singh, following sexual harassment charges levied against him.

On behalf of the wrestlers, including a youngster, a writ petition has been filed under Article 32. According to the request, the Delhi Police Commissioner has been ordered to file a FIR against the WFI chief.

The appeal claims that there was an excessive delay in registering the FIR against the WFI president, despite the fact that significant accusations, including Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO), had been filed against him.

The wrestlers' feud with Brij Bhushan Singh has been going on for around three months.

Wrestlers including Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, and Vinesh Phogat staged a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on April 23.

In a tweet, Phogat further stated that despite numerous attempts to file a FIR with the Delhi Police against the WFI president, their efforts had been futile.

In January, players such as Phogat, Bajrang Punia, and Sakshi Malik accused the federation leader of sexually assaulting them.

For years, Phogat claimed, the WFI president had harassed female wrestlers. As a result, the government appointed a commission comprised of senior wrestlers Yogeshwar Dutt and Mary Kom to investigate the case thoroughly. The report, however, has yet to be made public.
