3 min readBy PTI
NEW DELHI: Delhi Commission For Women on Thursday met the wrestlers protesting at Jantar Mantar proper right here, hours after a scuffle broke out on the spot between grapplers and police leading to a couple of protesters getting injured.
Before the meeting, Maliwal had alleged that she was not being allowed to satisfy the wrestlers.
In a video shared by her on Twitter, she is perhaps seen telling policemen that she holds a constitutional submit and wished to satisfy the protesters.
In response to her tweet, DCP, New Delhi, tweeted, “Hon’ble Chairperson DCW was stopped at the barricade by an officer and let go immediately. She is presently inside at the protest site. There is no restriction on individual entry to Jantar Mantar.”
Maliwal later tweeted in Hindi: “I am sitting with wrestlers who are protesting at Jantar Mantar. They are telling me that last night some police personnel, who were inebriated, misbehaved with them and attacked them. After writing down the complaints, Delhi Commission For Women will act on them.”
The wrestlers have levelled allegations of sexual harassment in the direction of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who may also be a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Uttar Pradesh.
The wrestlers have alleged that they’ve been crushed up by some policemen Wednesday night. According to them, two wrestlers Rahul Yadav and Dushyant Phogat have been injured throughout the battle.
Vinesh Phogat, an award-winning wrestler, too acquired head accidents.
On Wednesday night, police detained Rajya Sabha MP Deepender Singh Hooda and Swati Maliwal after that they had gone to the spot to help the wrestlers.
