“You saw everything that happened on May 28, how the police treated us and the way they arrested us. We were protesting peacefully, our place has been taken away and the next day serious cases and FIR were filed against us. Have the wrestlers committed any crime by demanding justice for the sexual harassment that happened to them? The police and the system are treating us like criminals, while the oppressor us taking jibe and moving freely. He is even openly talking about changing the POSCO Act,” they said.
However, he has denied all accusations, sharing that there are not valid evidence.
“This matter is under investigation by the Delhi Police. If there’s any truth to the charges, an arrest will be made,” he said.
