Wrestlers' Protest Day 3: As Olympian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, and other decorated athletes protest against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh entered Day 3, the Supreme Court issued notices to the Delhi Police and others on a plea by seven women wrestlers seeking registration of an FIR against him over allegations of sexual harassment, saying the matter is "serious" and requires its consideration. As more political leaders including former Haryana chief minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda and functionaries of some 'khap' panchayats and farmers' organisations rallied behind the country's top wrestlers protesting at Jantar Mantar here, the petition contended that despite filing complaints the Delhi Police has failed to register the FIR. The wrestlers asserted that they won't leave the protest site until Brij Bhushan, who is also a BJP MP, is arrested. They had resumed their sit-in protest on Sunday and demanded that the findings of the oversight panel that investigated the allegations be made public. A bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice P S Narasimha was initially of the view that the plea may be listed for hearing on Friday. However, after hearing some arguments from senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who mentioned the matter, it decided to take up the case straightaway.
