Patiala House Court Accepts Cancellation Report in POCSO Case Against Ex-WFI Chief

The Patiala House Court has officially accepted the cancellation report filed by Delhi Police in a high-profile POCSO case involving former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Special Judge Gomati Manocha's decision marks a significant development in the legal proceedings.

The case originated from a complaint by a minor wrestler, who recently appeared in court to verify her statement. Despite previous summons, the complainant retracted her accusations against Singh. The court found that both she and her father were satisfied with the investigation conducted by the police, endorsing the closure of the case.

In parallel, a separate charge sheet has been filed in Rouse Avenue Court concerning sexual harassment allegations against Singh and associate Vinod Tomar. Legal actions are set to proceed with charges framed under relevant IPC sections, moving forward to trial and witness testimonies.
