INSANE: Brij bhushan wants accusers to undergo polygraph tests too | Rare Historical Photos

Ready For Narco, polygraphy or lie detector test, says Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh but asks Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia to also undergo these tests.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha member from Kaiserganj in Uttar Pradesh and Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who was accused of sexually harassing women wrestlers, and currently facing two FIRs including one under the POSCO Act along with continuing protests is for the first time reacting positively to a call to undergo narco-analysis to settle allegations of sexual harassment. He however put forth a condition that along with him both Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia should also undergo tests.

“I am ready to have my narco, polygraphy or lie detector test but my condition is that along with me Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia should also undergo these tests. If both the wrestlers are ready to get their test done, then call the press and announce and I promise them that I am also ready for this,” wrote the six-term BJP MP on Facebook on Sunday, hours after a khap panchayat passed a resolution demanding that the BJP MP undergo a narco test and face legal action.
