"Biased" Probe Panel Trying To Protect Brij Bhushan, Allege Wrestlers

The government-formed six-member panel, led by the legendary Indian boxer MC Mary Kom, had submitted its report to the government but it was not made public.

New Delhi: The women wrestlers have questioned the intent of the oversight panel that probed the sexual harassment accusations against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and alleged that it was biased towards him, said the charge-sheet filed by the Delhi Police in the sensational case.

The outgoing WFI chief is scheduled to appear before a trial court today in pursuance of summons issued against him and the Federation’s Assistant Secretary Vinod Tomar.

The government-formed six-member panel, led by the legendary Indian boxer MC Mary Kom, had submitted its report to the government but it was not made public.

The complainants, in their separate statements, alleged that the panel appeared biased towards Singh, who is also a BJP MP.

The charge-sheet that runs into 1599 pages, contained statements of 44 witnesses, besides six statements by the complainants which were recorded under CrPC 164.

“Even after giving my statement before the (oversight) committee whenever I visited the Federation office, the accused looked at me with distasteful and lustful eyes and made wrong gestures which made me feel insecure,” said one of the complainants.

“Even the video recording was being switched off and on while I was giving my statement and in spite of my request the committee did not supply me a copy of my video recording. I fear that my statement may not have been recorded in entirety and may also have been tampered with to protect the accused,” the statement of the wrestler read further.

Another complainant said that she was made a part of the WFI sexual harassment committee to look into such cases without her consent. All national sports federations are supposed to have Internal Complaints Committee.

“I was never issued any formal communication informing me about such approval, nor was any formal communication was received by me seeking my approval to be part of the sexual harassment committee of the Wrestling Federation of India.

“The accused, in conspiracy with accused №2 and other unknown persons, has deliberately done this to suppress my voice and allegations against him. He has, without my approval or consensus, made me part of the said committee and is now alleging that in spite of being part of the committee, I am falsely alleging to be a victim myself,” said the complainant.

The same ‘victim’ also alleged that the oversight panel did not provide her the recording when demanded.

“I had serious doubts that that my statement on video may not have been recorded in entirety or may have been altered in an attempt to protect the accused and thus I requested for a copy of the video recording. However members of the oversight committee flatly turned down my request.” Delhi police had justified not arresting the accused, saying both Singh and WFI Assistant Secretary Tomar complied with the law by joining the investigation.

“Results of digital/electronic devices and exhibits seized and deposited with the concerned Forensic Labs are yet to be received and shall be filed through supplementary police reports. The analysis of requisitioned CDRs etc., as found appropriate for the purpose of prosecution shall also be submitted expeditiously,” the police said in the charge-sheet.

"All Parties Welcome": Wrestlers On #MeToo Protest In Delhi Change Tack

"This time, all parties are welcome to join our protest whether it is BJP, Congress, AAP, or any other party," Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia said.

New Delhi: India's top wrestlers have resumed their protest in Delhi's Jantar Mantar against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accusing him of sexually harassing several athletes. The wrestlers who called off their protest earlier this year after assurances that a committee would probe the allegations say that they will remain at the protest site till police file a complaint against Brij Bhushan.

"We will not believe anyone blindly. Last time we were misled. We hope this time there is no politics in this case," says Vinesh Phogat, the first Indian woman wrestler to win gold at both the Commonwealth and Asian Games.

The protesters also said that this time they will not turn down anyone, and whoever wants to support their protest could come and join them. In January, the protesters had request left leader Vrinda Karat to leave the stage as it was an "athletes protest".

"This time, all parties are welcome to join our protest whether it is BJP, Congress, AAP, or any other party. We are not affiliated with any party," Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia said.

Seven women wrestlers have filed a sexual harassment complaint against federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh at the Connaught Place police station in Central Delhi. The protesting athletes claim that no action has been taken yet and they will continue their agitation till the police register an FIR in the case.

The wrestlers claim that they had ended their protest in January over "false assurances."

"We will sit here day and night. Till the time we don't get justice. We will sit here," Ms Phogat said, after spending the night on the footpath.

"We have been trying to contact them (Sports Minister Anurag Thakur and other relevant authorities) for three months. The members of the committee are not responding to us, sports ministry has also not said anything, they don't even pick up our calls. We have won medals for the country and have put our careers at stake for this," she added.

In January, the sports ministry formed a five-member committee, which was headed by Olympic medallist boxer MC Mary Kom, to investigate the complaints. The committee had been instructed to submit its findings within a month.

Wrestler Sakshee Malikkh expressed frustration over the report on the issue by the panel not being made public yet.

"We want the report, which has recorded women wrestlers' statements, to be public. It's a sensitive issue, one of the complainants is a minor girl," she said, adding that the names of the complainants must not be leaked.

The government panel submitted its report in the first week of April, but the ministry is yet to make its findings public. However, sources said the wrestlers could not prove the sexual harassment allegations against the WFI boss after several hearings.

Several wrestlers had gone public with the accusations against federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on January 18. The elite wrestlers had said they weren't satisfied after talks with the government and "won't wrestle another day" till their demands are met. Alleging mismanagement in the functioning of the federation, they demanded a complete overhaul of the federation.

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has said that he will not contest for the president's post in the WFI election on May 7 but hinted that he might look for a new role within the federation. He has served three four-year terms as president in a row and according to the Sports Code after completing 12 years as WFI chief, he is ineligible to contest for the top post.

MC Mary Kom, the World Boxing Champion Aims to Play in the Asian Games and International Tournaments Until Retirement

MC Mary Kom, a six-time World Champion is recovering from an injury during the trials for Commonwealth Games last year. However, on Monday, she made an announcement at Women’s Boxing World Championship sponsorship press conference that she is aiming to participate in the Asian Games, in the latter half of 2023. Her comeback is anticipated. However, as per the competition rules of the International Boxing Federation, for an ‘elite boxer’, the upper limit is age 40.

And as per the bio-data of MC Mary Kom, her birthday is on 1 March 1983. Thus, it is unclear if she will be eligible to participate in the Asian Games and international tournaments. Even the IBA rules are vague whether the retirement age of an athlete is 40 or after completion of the 40th year. Kom said she wanted to box without keeping age in mind and remain active for at least the next 5 years.

She said retirement is not on cards if it were up to her. However, the rules are different from Kom’s desire. She also has active competition, as the current world champion, Nikhat Zareen in the 51kg weight category, will not be a part of the 50kg Olympic category. The 48-kg boxer, Nitu Ganghas has also taken Mary’s spot by winning gold in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Thus, Mary Kom will have to top the competition from the existing list of champions in the national camp before making it to the Indian team. Presently, she is dealing with her injury and has yet to start training. Thus, Asian Games is still several steps away for Kom, who suffered a terrible ligament injury in the Birmingham CWG trials. In August last year, she also had an operation for her knee in Mumbai.

However, nothing can dim the spirit of Mary Kom as she is quite sure her recovery is going well and that she will be up on her toes soon and return to her routine. She is looking forward to competing at least in one competition before she retires. So, if it does not happen with Asian Games, Kom aims to make it to another international competition.

Questions which are still to be asked....

Star Boxer MC. Mary Kom returned to India from Jordan on 13th March. According to the guidelines of SAI (Sport Authority of India) she has to be self isolated for next two weeks but she broke the self quarantine protocol and reached the Rashtrapati Bhawan to have breakfast with president on 18th of march.

It is a matter of worry as responsible and prestigious members of our society who are ideals of many are setting aside the protocols and guidelines to prevent COVID-19. We need to be more careful as India is approaching towards Phase-3 in spread of COVID-19 which is quite dangerous.Its consequences are adverse and can be seen in Italy and China.
