The Delhi court will hear the arguments on framing of charges against former Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on November 28 in a matter relating to sexual harassment allegations by 6 wrestlers.
In the last hearing on October 30, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh Jaspal granted 3 weeks to the counsel for the parties to file their written arguments so that they could be concluded in a “systematic manner.”
On Wednesday, Singh’s advocate filed the reply, following which the judge posted the matter for further proceedings on November 28.
Earlier, Singh questioned the jurisdiction of the court trying the case, claiming no alleged action or consequence happened in India.
The city police filed a charge sheet in the case against Singh, a 6-time MP, on June 15 under sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354A (sexual harassment), 354-D (stalking) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
The police also charged Vinod Tomar, the suspended assistant secretary of the WFI, in the case.
