Court to record complainant’s statement on March 3

A Delhi court will resume recording statements of one of the complainants on March 3 in a sexual harassment case involving former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

The matter was adjourned which was scheduled to be heard on Saturday since Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Vaibhav Chaurasiya was on leave.

The court had, in May last year, framed the charges of sexual harassment and using force to outrage women’s modesty against Singh in the criminal case filed against him by women wrestlers.

Singh pleaded not guilty in the case and claimed trial. The court has also framed the charge of criminal intimidation against Singh in the case.

It has also framed the charge of criminal intimidation against co-accused and former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) assistant secretary Vinod Tomar in the case.
