On May 17, Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Gomti Manocha of the Patiala House Court had summoned the wrestler, who had accused Singh of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, and directed the complainant to appear in court on May 26.
In June 2023, Delhi Police filed a cancellation report after the minor victim withdrew her statement.
On August 1, 2023, during court proceedings, the complainant and her father did not oppose the closure report in the case against the former WFI president and expressed satisfaction with the police investigation.
The case was originally lodged based on a complaint by a then-minor woman wrestler.
Previous special POCSO judge Chhabi Kapoor had deferred the final order several times after the victims retracted their statements.
Former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has consistently rejected the allegations levelled against him by the wrestlers.
