During the Supreme Court hearing on the wrestlers' petition, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for Delhi Police, stated that since the allegations implicated a cognizable offence, the police had decided to register an FIR that day; the bench of CJI D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice P.S. Narasimha recorded the statement. The court directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to assess the threat to the minor complainant and provide adequate security, and said this did not stop the Commissioner from assessing the threat to the other complainants and providing security to them if needed. Delhi Police registered two FIRs against Singh that day at Connaught Place police station, one of them under the POCSO Act on the minor's complaint. Delhi Police report to the Union Home Ministry.
