Lawyer Sharikasnt Prasad after filing the plea claimed that the petitioner in the matter is Vicky, whose address is 21, Ashoka Road, the official residence of Member of Parliament Brij Bhushan Sharan and is working as his cook.
The plea alleged that the Protestors/Wrestlers have completely misused the sexual harassment laws by making them a mockery of justice. if any player had undergone sexual harassment, they must have acted in accordance with the law through police and courts etc.
The plea sought direction for the registration of FIR against Players including Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia etc for allegedly abusing the process of law by putting the WFI chief under extortion for making him resign.
Recently eminent wrestlers including Sakshee Malikkh, Vinesh Phogat, and Bajrang Punia, protested in Delhi's Jantar Mantar bringing allegations of sexual harassment against WFI president Brij Bhushan Charan Singh.
