Police charge India wrestling chief with sexual harassment
Al JazeeraJUL 2023
As if the allegations of Singh's sexual abuse weren’t devastating enough, the Indian government’s lack of a response is a glaring example of PM Narendra Modi’s corruption. This weak probe is nothing more than a façade to protect Singh, despite overwhelming evidence of his guilt. Hopefully, the bravery of these wrestlers will finally force some government action.
There are obvious reasons these accusations against Singh could be politically motivated, which is why the legal process must play out. Indian police have worked diligently so far to investigate the situation, but charges do not equal guilt. Only once a court has scrutinized the accusations and Singh's defense can a final judgment be made.
