A Delhi court on Friday ordered framing of charges in the sexual harassment case filed by female wrestlers against powerful politician Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, whose writ continues to hold sway over the Wrestling Federation of India.

The former WFI president has also been charged with the offence of outraging the modesty of women. 

The court had earlier dismissed an application filed by Brij Bhushan, seeking time for making further submissions on the charges and for further investigation.
