In his statement to the Delhi Police, Jagbir Singh, an international wrestling referee who has been in attendance since 2007, who was a few feet away from Brij Bhushan and the complainant, backed up the wrestler's claims. He used to repeatedly touch wrestlers while urging them to come to this location and stand there, 'Idhar khadi ho ja.' It was obvious something was not right that day (during the picture shoot) based on her (the complainant's) demeanor, according to Jagbir.

Before she could escape and proceed to the front row for the photo, the FIR claims that Singh violently grabbed her by the shoulder.

The wrestler mentioned through the FIR, "I was meant to stand in the back row because I was one of the tallest wrestlers. The accused arrived and joined me as I stood in the final row and waited for the other wrestlers to take up their positions. I attempted to get away from that area right away to keep the accused from touching me inappropriately again. I chose to sit in the first row far from the accused since I was unable to avoid being included in the team photo".

According to the FIR, Singh's "highly indecent" and "objectionable" action, which was done without the wrestler's consent, left her speechless.

Anita, who won a gold medal in the 2010 CWG, and Jagbir are the other two witnesses our paper has spoken with. She said in her lawsuit that the "forced hug" she received the night of her gold-medal triumph caused her to become "traumatized."

Approximately 15 instances of sexual harassment, including 10 instances of inappropriate touching, molestation, which includes running hands over breasts and touching the navel, and several intimidation-related incidents, including stalking-have been detailed in the two FIRs that Delhi Police has filed in response to complaints from seven female wrestlers, one of whom is a minor.

The long-running impasse between the protesting wrestlers and the government saw a breakthrough on Wednesday. Olympic medalist wrestlers Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia decided to put a stop to their protest till June 15 after meeting Thakur.
