The Rouse Avenue Court recorded the statement of a woman sub-inspector during the trial of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The sub-inspector had collected photographs from one of the victims, showing Sai Centre Lucknow and Sir Chhotu Ram Stadium Rohtak. She reported issuing a notice to the victim, who refused to help prepare the site plan. Consequently, Inspector Ravi prepared the site plan.
Another prosecution witness, a victim, did not appear due to medical reasons. The court has summoned her to record her statement on August 23.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Priyanka Rajput oversees the court, which is recording prosecution evidence. The court recorded Sub Inspector Rashmi’s statement, with an Additional Public Prosecutor conducting the examination. Defense lawyer Rajiv Mohan cross-examined the witness. She confirmed she participated in the investigation on senior officers’ orders, despite not being assigned the case. She also reiterated that victim SM refused to assist with the site plan, leading Inspector Ravi to prepare it.
The court has called victim SM to provide evidence. Earlier, the court recorded constable Mukesh Kumar’s statement and directed the recording of prosecution witnesses’ statements and the trial’s commencement against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Vinod Tomar.
On May 21, the court formally charged Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Vinod Tomar. Both denied all allegations and requested a trial. On May 10, the court ordered charges against them, finding sufficient evidence for sexual harassment of five women wrestlers and outraging the modesty of a woman.
