    What's the story

    The Delhi Police on Friday filed an Action Taken Report (ATR) before a court on a petition seeking a First Information Report (FIR) against the protesting wrestlers for allegedly making "false allegations" against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and promoting hate speech.

    The police urged the court to dismiss the plea, stating the complainant's video contained no hate speech.

    Details

    Details on video provided by complainant

    "The complainant has also provided a pen drive containing video clip of this news and protest wherein some unknown sikh protesters are seen in the video clip raising slogans: (Narendra) Modi your grave will be dug if not today then tomorrow," stated the police.

    "From the video clip provided by the complainant, no cognizable offense of hate speech is made out," added the police.
