Congress MLA Geeta Bhukkal questioned Sandeep Singh, no longer sports minister, taking up sports queries in assembly. Khattar called Singh 'respectable', warned Bhukkal of 'consequences'.
The BJP MLA was accused of sexual harassment last yr by a junior athletics coach in Haryana's sports dept. Court's order notes complainant’s statement has been recorded, chargesheet filed.
In its chargesheet submitted on 25 Aug, Chandigarh Police said India’s ex-hockey captain & Haryana’s printing minister Sandeep Singh was ‘not honest during investigation’.
1st hearing of Sandeep Singh’s bail plea was held Tuesday & case is now listed for 13 September.
Congress MP Kumari Selja has asked CM Khattar if he will still not seek Singh's resignation.
In December 2022, a woman athlete accused Singh, former captain of Indian hockey team, of sexual assault. Six months on, no chargesheet, SIT probing case yet to submit findings.
She says the police assigned to protect her cause her more trouble. She’s also battling with her landlords in order to keep her home. They’ve ‘outed’ her in the process.
In her FIR, the junior woman coach has alleged that an SUV tried to hit her and that she has been receiving threats since her complaint against Sandeep Singh.
Her allegations against Haryana minister Sandeep Singh have stirred a political storm, with Congress leaders demanding his resignation in the state assembly.
The recent resignations of its seniormost judges are among the most pointed institutional protests Pakistan has witnessed since the lawyers’ movement of the late 2000s.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
