In the social media post, Vinesh and Sakshi also tagged the official accounts of the Delhi Police as well as the Delhi Commission for Women and the National Commission for Women.
Delhi Police reacts:
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police denied the allegations by both Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi and also issued a clarification.
It said, as the ANI quoted, “There is no order of withdrawal of security. If there is any delay in the security person reaching, that is being enquired.”
In other details, the legal team representing the complainant wrestlers informed that all three wrestlers — who accused BJP leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment — approached Rouse Avenue Court for justice. The legal team added that one of these wrestlers is scheduled to testify in the case on 23 August.
