The Delhi Police has decided that it will register an FIR on women wrestlers' sexual harassment complaint against BJP MP and President of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) Brij Bhushan Singh.

The apex court was informed about this by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who is representing the Delhi Police, in the petition filed by the women wrestlers seeking registration of their FIR.

Previously, on Wednesday, Mehta had been quoted by PTI as having said:

“We (the Delhi Police), prima facie feel, that there was a need to conduct a preliminary investigation before the registration of the FIR."
