Sources in Delhi Police tell news agency ANI that it has not found sufficient evidence to arrest Brij Bhushan Singh, the WFI chief.

"Within 15 days we will be filing our report in court. It could be in the form of chargesheet or final report. There is no supportive evidence to prove the wrestlers' claim. The sections of POCSO added in FIR has less than seven years imprisonment, so Investigating Officer cannot proceed with arrest as demanded by the accused. He is not influencing the witness nor is he destroying the evidence," the sources in the police said.

Some of India's best wrestlers accompanied by hundreds of supporters gathered in Haridwar on the banks of the Ganga yesterday, threatening to immerse their Olympics, Asian Games and World Championship medals in the holy river but refrained after being convinced by Khap and farmer leaders who sought five days to address their grievances.
