A second police officer stated that although the accused could receive a maximum sentence of five years in prison, it is not crucial to arrest them even though investigators have discovered evidence against them. Because they have not yet received the information requested from international wrestling federations, the officer added that they may file an additional chargesheet against the defendant.

“It’s just a chargesheet, not a final layout. Therefore, whatever the investigators find after filing the main chargesheet will undoubtedly be included in the supplementary chargesheet(s). Additionally, the laboratories have not yet provided us with the forensic reports for the digital evidence, such as the images, videos, and audio. If they do, we may include their findings in the additional chargesheet,” the second officer said while requesting anonymity.

Furthermore, the Delhi Police informed a different regional judiciary on Thursday that there was no supporting proof against Singh in the subsequent case submitted against him under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. On July 4, the court will hear the case again.
