- SHEKHAR SINGH @ New Delhi

The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) case, which carries a minimum jail term of three years, was cancelled after the complainant expressed no objection to police findings.

The order was passed by additional sessions judge Gomti Manocha at Patiala House Court.

During an in-camera hearing held on August 1, 2023, the wrestler told the judge that she was content with the police probe and did not wish to pursue the matter.
