Delhi Police disclosed in the Rouse Avenue Court that ex-WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused of sexual harassment by six female wrestlers, allegedly threatened them to maintain silence if they wished to continue wrestling. Reading statements from the accusers, the police mentioned Bhushan's intimidating remarks, stating, "If you want to continue wrestling, then stay quiet; I can make or break careers." The prosecutor argued these threats fell under IPC Section 506 for criminal intimidation. Bhushan, who skipped the hearing, had been granted exemption, citing a "social obligation." The case involves charges of assault, sexual harassment, stalking, and criminal intimidation.
