New Delhi, October 7

Former WFI chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Saturday refuted allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him by six women wrestlers, terming these as “false and motivated”.

He made the claim through his counsel before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh Jaspal. The counsel submitted that one of the complainants in the case was a member of the sexual harassment committee and she never disclosed the alleged incident of 2012 till April 2023. “She made the allegations as she failed to qualify for the Olympic 2015… every allegation is false…,” the counsel told the court. The judge adjourned the matter till October 16.

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).
