Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate Kapil Sibal on Tuesday came out in support of the protesting wrestlers, saying that his new platform ‘Insaaf Ke Sipahi’ is with them to fight injustice. A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha observed that ordinarily, under section 156 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (power of police officers to investigate cognizable cases) Remedy is available. “What are the allegations?” asked the bench. Sibal said that seven wrestlers, including a minor wrestler, have made allegations of sexual harassment, but no FIR has been registered so far despite the law being very clear on this aspect. . ,
