Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is an influential but controversial MP from India's governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). For several months, he's been at the centre of India's biggest sporting row.
The allegations against him are grave. Some of India's top wrestlers, including Olympic medallists and world champions, accuse him of sexually harassing female athletes and have held months of protests demanding his arrest.
Mr Singh, who until recently had been the chief of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) for the past 12 years, has denied the allegations. He accuses the wrestlers of being "politically motivated" and recently said he would "hang himself even if a single allegation is proved" against him.
After months of headline-making protests by wrestlers - and a nudge from the Supreme Court - police in the capital Delhi registered two cases against him in April. Seven female wrestlers told the police that he had molested and groped them at training camps and tournaments.
As one of them is a minor, police invoked the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act. In the past few days, reports say the minor has withdrawn her allegations. Wrestler Sakshi Malik told the BBC she believed "the player was pressurised into withdrawing the charges". Mr Singh refused to comment on the allegation, saying "let law take its course".
Lawyer Akshat Bajpai says most people charged under Pocso are immediately arrested - but six weeks later, police are yet to act against Mr Singh.
Although the government denies shielding him, the protesters and opposition politicians allege that the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is giving him a long rope because of political expediency.
