The seven women wrestlers, who have levelled allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court seeking permission to file an affidavit in a sealed cover.

On April 28, Delhi Police had filed two FIRs against Singh on the allegations of the wrestlers. It came hours after solicitor-general Tushar Mehta, appearing for Delhi Police, told the apex court that a case will be registered that day itself.

On Wednesday, the counsel representing the women wrestlers mentioned the matter before a bench comprising Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice P.S. Narasimha and said he was seeking permission to file the affidavit in a sealed cover before the court.

The court is slated to hear the matter on Thursday.

The counsel said they don’t have any problem in supplying the copy of the affidavit to the solicitor-general but it should not go in the public domain. The bench permitted the counsel to bring the sealed cover affidavit on Thursday with an advance copy to Mehta and allowed Mehta to share the material with the investigation officer.
