New Delhi: A Delhi court Tuesday granted two-day interim bail to embattled Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in the sexual harassment case lodged by women wrestlers, noting that he was not arrested during the investigation and appeared before it “without any coercive process”.

Singh, who has been at the centre of a scandal following allegations of sexual harassment levelled by six women wrestlers and a minor grappler, appeared before the court in the case for the first time.

The Delhi police had filed a charge sheet against the six-time MP on June 15.
