New Delhi: The Delhi Police’s decision to register an FIR against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Friday was termed as the “first step towards victory” by the wrestlers protesting at Jantar Mantar here. The wrestlers, however, said they will continue their protest till the Bharatiya Janata Party MP is removed from all his posts. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, on behalf of the Delhi Police, moved the Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha. The bench was told that the FIR would be registered on Friday. Wrestlers, who have accused the WFI chief of sexual harassment and intimidation, have been demanding registration of an FIR against him ever since they resumed their agitation on April 23.
“This is the first step towards victory, but our protest will continue,” Sakshi Malik told reporters at Jantar Mantar. The wrestlers have put up a huge banner at Jantar Mantar listing all the criminal proceedings against Brij Bhushan. Wrestler Vinesh Phogat said Delhi Police took six days to register the FIR and she does not trust the probe agency.

Vinesh, a world championship medallist, said, “It (police) may have registered a weak FIR. We will watch, observe and then take a decision (on ending the protest). He (Brij Bhushan) should be behind bars and should be removed from all the existing posts, otherwise he will try to influence the investigation.
