Wrestlers vs WFI: Delhi Police refutes claims of having no evidence against Brij Bhushan Singh, says probe still on

Protesting wrestlers, including Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, and Asian Games gold medallist Vinesh Phogat have been demanding action against the outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment by several women grapplers. He has also been charged under the stringent POCSO Act.
The grapplers were recently detained and manhandled by the Delhi Police following which they said they will immerse the medals they have won on national and international platforms and gathered in Haridwar. However, were stopped by BKU leader Naresh Tikait.
Dramatic Scene Unfolds
Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, and Asian Games gold medallist Vinesh Phogat arrived at Har ki Pauri, emotionally overwhelmed by the allegations against Singh. Tears streamed down their faces as they clutched their medals while their supporters formed a protective circle around them. After a silent contemplation of about 20 minutes, the wrestlers decided against immersing their medals, following persuasion from Khap and farmer leaders who pledged to address their grievances within five days.
WFI Chief Denies Allegations and Calls Protest ‘Emotional Drama’
In Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh dismissed the wrestlers’ decision to immerse their medals as an ’emotional drama’. He maintained his innocence, stating that no allegations against him have been proven true so far. Singh challenged the accusers to provide concrete evidence and claimed he would take responsibility if any allegations were substantiated.
Investigation Ongoing, Contrary to Reports of ‘No Evidence’
Delhi Police was cited in that the investigation into the allegations against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is still ongoing. Reports suggesting “no evidence” against him, which circulated through various media channels, were deemed inaccurate by the police. The authorities emphasized that the case is being examined thoroughly.
Mahapanchayat Planned to Address Protests
BKU leader Naresh Tikait announced a “mahapanchayat” in Muzaffarnagar’s Soram village to discuss the ongoing protest by the wrestlers against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Singh. This meeting aims to provide a platform for dialogue and resolution regarding the sexual harassment charges.

Major Twist In Baba Siddique Murder Case: Zeeshan Akhtar Was Recruited & Brainwashed By Bishnoi Gang Operative Akash Chauhan, Say Sources

Mumbai: In a major revelation in the high-profile murder case of NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) leader Baba Siddique, Mumbai Crime Branch sources have confirmed that Zeeshan Akhtar — currently detained in Canada — was not initially associated with the Bishnoi gang. He was allegedly recruited and brainwashed by Akash Chauhan, a key operative of the Bishnoi syndicate, at the behest of Anmol Bishnoi.
According to investigators, Zeeshan was previously affiliated with the rival Bambiha gang in Punjab and was considered a trusted hitman. Sources claim Akash Chauhan — currently lodged in Faridkot jail — played a crucial role in securing Zeeshan’s release from Jalandhar jail and persuaded him to join the Bishnoi gang with promises of lakhs in payment.
The turning point came after the Bishnoi syndicate decided to eliminate Baba Siddique. Acting on Anmol Bishnoi’s instructions from Patiala Jail, Akash Chauhan identified Zeeshan as a potential recruit. Chauhan then arranged for Zeeshan’s bail and, upon his release on June 7, Zeeshan met Chauhan directly.
It was during this meeting, sources said, that Zeeshan was convinced to take part in the murder plot. Under Chauhan’s instructions, Zeeshan recruited shooter Gurmel Singh and dispatched him to Mumbai. Zeeshan then contacted another wanted accused, Shubham Lonkar, to help orchestrate the plan.
Crime Branch officers are now preparing to designate Akash Chauhan as an accused in the case and initiate his transfer from Punjab to Mumbai for questioning. Officials confirmed that Chauhan has long-standing links with the Bishnoi syndicate and has played a role in several past contract killings.
Meanwhile, efforts to bring Zeeshan Akhtar back to India from Canada are actively underway, with Mumbai Crime Branch working closely with the CBI and international agencies. Investigators believe that Zeeshan’s interrogation could lead to more major revelations in the days to come.

Pahalgam terror attack: NIA arrests two men for harbouring terrorists

New Delhi: In a major breakthrough in the Pahalgam terror attack case, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two men for allegedly harbouring the terrorists who carried out the heinous attack.
The accused have been identified as Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar from Batkote, and Bashir Ahmad Jothar of Hill Park. Both Batkote and Hill Park are in Pahalgam.
They purportedly disclosed the identities of the three armed terrorists involved in the attack, and also confirmed that they were from Pakistan and affiliated to the proscribed terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
“Parvaiz and Bashir had knowingly harboured the three armed terrorists at a seasonal dhok [hut] at Hill Park before the attack, as per NIA investigations. The two men had provided food, shelter and logistical support to the terrorists, who had, on the fateful afternoon, selectively killed the tourists on the basis of their religious identity, making it one of the most gruesome terrorist attacks ever,” the agency said.
The NIA has arrested the two accused under Section 19 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Twenty-six people were killed and 16 were grievously injured in the terror attack in Pahalgam. The incident brought India and Pakistan close to war. At least 10 houses of suspects were also dismantled in the Kashmir Valley.
The Jammu & Kashmir Police had also released the sketches of three suspects. The police announced a reward of ₹20 lakh for those who provide information about their whereabouts.
According to the police, Adil Hussain Thoker, a resident of Anantnag, and Ali Bhai alias Talha Bhai and Hasim Musa alias Suleiman of Pakista were involved in the terrorist attack on civilians in Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadow.
Thoker, according to the police records, exfiltrated into Pakistan or Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in 2018. The Thoker-led group was believed to active for the past one year in the region. Further investigations are going on.
