Brij Bhushan Should Be In Jail & Not Parliament, Fumes Women’s Commission Chief

New Delhi: A day after Delhi Police’s chargesheet against outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh came to light, Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal said that the BJP MP “belongs in jail and not in the Parliament”.

Maliwal hit out against Delhi Police and Central government over lack of action against the six-time MP with several criminal cases.

“The whole country knows that Brij Bhushan Singh is a big politician who has several criminal cases lodged against him. Amid this, India’s top wrestlers sat on the streets for a month demanding action against him. They kept screaming, yelling… demanding Delhi Police to arrest Singh. But they did not do anything. Instead, they victim-shamed the wrestlers,” Maliwal said in a video message on Twitter.

“Now, the Delhi police have submitted concrete evidence against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in court. I want to ask Delhi Police why they didn’t arrest him, even though they knew he sexually harassed wrestlers? The Central government should also answer why they did not take any action against him,” the DCW chief said.

The chargesheet states that Brij Bhushan, who is being investigated for sexual harassment complaints by six female wrestlers, is “liable to be prosecuted and punished for offences” of sexual harassment, molestation and stalking under Sections 506 (criminal intimidation), 354 (outraging modesty of a woman); 354 A (sexual harassment); and 354 D (stalking) of IPC.
