Digital Desk: A Delhi court on Wednesday asked for a status report on the sexual harassment case against Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh from the Delhi Police. The judge issued a notice to Delhi police in response to a petition filed by the protesting wrestlers asking for supervision of the investigation and recording of the alleged victims' statements before the court.

The court ordered the police to file the report by May 12, when it will hear the matter again.

The female wrestlers moved to the Supreme Court, and two FIRs were filed on April 28.

One FIR has been filed against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh under the POCSO Act for sexual harassment with a minor girl, while another FIR has been filed for sexual harassment of other complainants.

The top wrestlers of the nation, including Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, and Vinesh Phogat, resumed their sit-in protest at Jantar Mantar on April 23, calling for the WFI president's arrest.
