The Delhi Police on Friday informed a court here that it has rectified the earlier "miscommunication" about the withdrawal of security of the women wrestlers who are set to testify against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Priyanka Rajpoot had asked the city police to file a detailed report by Friday regarding the reasons for the withdrawal of the security cover of a woman wrestler who is to testify against Singh.

Additional Public Prosecutor Atul Srivastava clarified that the removal of the security of the women wrestlers was a "miscommunication." "It has been rectified," he said.

Earlier on Thursday, the court had passed an interim order directing the city police to immediately reinstate the security of the female wrestler who has accused Singh of sexual harassment.

On Thursday evening, top wrestler Vinesh Phogat claimed on X that police have withdrawn the security of the women wrestlers who are to depose against Singh in the sexual harassment case against him.

"Delhi Police has withdrawn the security of the women wrestlers who are going to testify against Brij Bhushan in the court," Phogat said in a post on the microblogging platform and tagged the Delhi Police as well as the National Commission for Women and the Delhi Commission for Women.
