Delhi Police responded

Delhi Police has responded to Vinesh Phogat's post. According to the DCP of New Delhi, 'PSOs were called for firing practice. This is a normal activity in police practice. After taking training, the PSOs returned to their duty. The wrestlers were already informed about this. There is no order to withdraw security. If this has happened then an investigation will be done.'

A case was filed against Brij Bhushan

It is worth noting that in May this year, Brij Bhushan got a big setback in this case. Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court ordered to frame charges against Brij Bhushan. After this, a case has been registered against him under sections 354, 506 and other sections. Delhi Police is investigating the case of sexual harassment charges against him. In this case, a charge sheet was also filed against Brij Bhushan in June 2023.
