Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, India's outgoing wrestling chief and influential MP from the ruling BJP party, has been charged with stalking, making sexually coloured remarks, harassment and intimidation after months of protests by the country's top wrestlers who accuse him of sexual harassment. Singh denies the charges, but police have suggested dropping charges involving a minor, which would have made his arrest imminent. The protests had made headlines globally, especially after the police detained the wrestlers as they tried to march to India's new parliament building in the capital Delhi.
