Delhi Police has so far questioned more than 125 witnesses in four states on the allegations of women wrestlers against BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh. The allegations of women wrestlers have been confirmed by high-level players and referees as well. According to media reports, these include an Olympian, a Commonwealth Games gold medallist, an international level referee and a state level coach.
Jagbir Singh while talking to the media said that we had not exposed these incidents to everyone earlier because no female wrestler had lodged a complaint about the matter anywhere. Also, said that many such incidents had happened in front of us, which was not correct.
