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.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
