It could be in the form of a charge sheet or final report," Delhi police sources said. Delhi police sources further said that there is no supportive evidence to prove the wrestlers' claim.

"The sections of POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012) added in FIR has less than seven years' OF imprisonment, so investigating officer (IO) cannot proceed with arrest as demand by the accused," they pointed out. "Neither he is influencing the witness nor he is destroying the evidence," they added.
