Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual misconduct, on Friday postponed his June 5 rally in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, after the district administration denied permission for the event citing prohibitory orders in the area.
Singh, however, said he postponed the "Jan Chetna Maharally" at Ayodhya's Ram Katha Park for "a few days" due to the ongoing police probe into the wrestlers' allegations against him.
Prominent wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, have been holding protests since April 23 accusing Singh of sexual exploitation.
Singh, however, has refuted the allegations against him.
