A Delhi court on Thursday directed to record statements of two police officials on July 26 in a criminal case filed by women wrestlers against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

Former WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar is also an accused in the case.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Priyanka Rajpoot issued summons to the two police officials for July 26 for recording their statements.

In May, the court had framed charges of sexual harassment, criminal intimidation and outraging the modesty of women against Singh to which he pleaded not guilty.

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).
