Former wrestler Babita Phogat on Tuesday claimed that fellow oversight committee member Radhica Sreeman snatched the ultimate report on sexual harassment allegations towards WFI chief Bri Bhushan Sharan Singh from her earlier than she might learn the findings in full, a cost vehemently denied by the previous sports activities administrator. Babita, who was included within the authorities’s probe panel to analyze the allegations on the insistence of protesting wrestlers, alleged that she had some objections however Radhica didn’t let her learn the report in full.

“I had read just a few pages of the final report and I had some objections but Radhica Sreeman came and snatched the report. She said since I belong to the same family (Phogat), that is holding the protest, I can’t read the report,” Babita instructed PTI.

“She was working on behalf of the chairman (Mary Kom) and told me that the chairman has taken a decision (on signing of the report).” When contacted by PTI, Radhica dismissed the cost as “ridiculous”.

“Why will I do that? What benefit I will accrue by doing something like that. In fact she read the report 4-5 times and agreed to the findings. Each and every word that was written in the report, was explained to her,” Radhica stated.

“Whatever was written in the report is based on testimonies of all those who appeared in the hearing and everything is video recorded, it can’t be tampered with. If at all I snatched the report from her why didn’t she write that in her dissent note,” questioned the veteran administrator.

“This is a baseless charge. In fact on the eve of Holi, all the members sat and whatever was being drafted, based on the hearings, Babita was explained each and every word and she was satisfied.” Radhica additionally stated that each one members of the committee have been requested to assemble at SAI headquarters on April 4 for the signing of the report, however Babita didn’t flip up.

“Even her phone was switched off that day. She said her baby was unwell so we asked her to come on April 5 and sign the report. Since everyone else had arrived on April 4, the chairman (Mary Kom) decided that members who are present can sign the report and Babita can do that later,” defined Radhica.

The authorities had fashioned the oversight committee, headed by legendary boxer MC Mary Kom, to look into the allegations levelled by the wrestlers, together with Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia.

However, PTI has learnt that the probe panel has given Brij Bhushan a clear chit with a 5-1 verdict.

As the wrestlers returned to Jantar Mantar to renew their protest and strategy the Supreme Court, Vinesh stated Babita is extra apprehensive about her political profession than the reason for the wrestlers.
