International referee Jagbir Singh has come forward to assert that he has personally observed instances of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh exhibiting inappropriate behavior towards female grapplers on multiple occasions dating back to 2013.
Amid allegations of sexual harassment raised by prominent Indian wrestlers such as Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat, and Sakshi Malik, Brij Bhushan is currently facing intense scrutiny, with calls for his arrest. These allegations pertain to his alleged misconduct towards women grapplers within the wrestling community.
“I am an UWW referee since 2007 and I have been a referee before the birth of the protesting wrestlers. I also know Brij Bhushan for a long time,” Jagbir told PTI.
“I couldn’t say much because until the girls register complaints, I could not do anything. But I saw the episode with my own eyes and felt bad,” he said.
Jagbir Singh affirmed that he personally witnessed Brij Bhushan’s misconduct on multiple occasions, bearing witness to his inappropriate behavior firsthand.
