Delhi Police files closure report for cancellation of POCSO case against Brij Bhushan Singh

Patiala House Court

New Delhi: Delhi police on Thursday filed a cancellation report in Patiala House Court in the case filed against former WFI chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh under POCSO Act.

Special Public Prosecutor Atul Shrivastava filed the cancellation report before the vacation judge Rajinder Singh at Patiala House court.

The vacation judge has listed the matter before the special POCSO Judge Chhavi Kapoor on July 4. The report has more than 500 pages.

The complaint under POCSO Act had been filed by "minor wrestler" and the FIR was registered under section 354, 354 A, 354 D of IPC and section 10 of POSCO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act.

Shrivastava told the media that a cancellation report has been filed and the concerned court will take note of the report on the next date.

The father of a minor wrestler had told a television channel last week that he has "corrected" the statement in connection with the case against Brij Bhushan Singh and he had filed a false complaint against him "out of anger".

Olympian Bajrang Punia, who has been part of protest by wrestlers against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, later stated that the father of the minor girl had said that he "was under a lot of pressure" and that the entire family was "in depression".

Delhi police on May 26 filed a status report in Rouse Avenue court and informed that the statement of women wrestlers has been recorded. (with Agency inputs)
