A day after a Delhi court accepted a police closure report in connection to the sexual harassment case under the POCSO Act against him, former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and ex-BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Tuesday demanded that the Centre must find a way to “stop the misuse" of sexual harassment laws meant to protect people.

Soon after the closure of the POCSO case against him, Singh, in an apparent show of strength, was welcomed by a massive rally at the Ayodhya airport on Tuesday, drawing thousands of supporters and over 100 SUVs to the city.

Addressing the media in Ayodhya, Singh said, “I have great faith in Lord Hanuman and in myself. When the allegations were made on January 18, 2023, I said it was a lie, and everything I said has been proven true."

“Sections on preventing harassment are being misused today. I have great faith in the judiciary," he added.

Referring to his previous public statement that he would hang himself if found guilty, Singh said, “I had said that if the charges are proven, I will hang myself. What I said has been proven. I am grateful to the judiciary."

Urging the government to take preventive measures against the misuse of laws, Singh stated, “I’m not against such laws. They are important, but there is a growing trend of using them to ruin lives and settle personal scores." He asked the government to find a way to stop the misuse of sexual harassment laws.

“This is not about abolishing the law, but about reviewing its implementation," the ex-WFI chief said.

‘They Used To Call Me God…’

After the case was closed against Brij Bhushan, which was initially filed by the father of a “minor wrestler", Singh commented on the controversy and said, “The athletes, who accused me, used to call me the god of wrestling. They would visit my home, and I attended their weddings and family functions."

Earlier, the complaint filed by the minor wrestler’s father was withdrawn after he made a startling claim midway through the probe that he had made a false complaint of sexual harassment against Singh to get back at him for perceived injustice to the girl.

While Singh has been cleared in the POCSO case, he continues to face trial in another court on charges of sexual harassment filed by six other women wrestlers. However, he has rejected all the allegations.
