BJP MP and Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh allegedly touched women athletes inappropriately on the pretext of checking their breath, groped them, asked inappropriate personal questions, demanded sexual favours in exchange for the federation bearing the cost of treatment of injuries sustained during tournaments, offered "unknown edible not approved by the dietician or coach", brushed his hands across a minor's breast and stalked her, the First Information Reports, or FIRs, based on the complaints of seven women wrestlers at Delhi's Connaught Place police station last month, allege. The two FIRs -- one combining complaints of six wrestlers, and a separate one based on the complaint of a minor's father -- were filed on April 28, while the written complaints were submitted on April 21.
