Delhi court closes POCSO case against ex-WFI chief Brij Bhushan Singh after wrestler withdraws complaint

A Delhi court on Monday accepted the cancellation report filed by the police in a Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) case against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president and ex-BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The case had been lodged based on allegations made by a woman wrestler who was a minor at the time. Special POCSO Judge Gomati Manocha of the Patiala House Court allowed the closure of the case after the complainant appeared before the court and confirmed her satisfaction with the police investigation, reiterating that she no longer wished to pursue the matter.
