Delhi court acquits former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers

A Delhi court today acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and co-accused Vinod Tomar in a sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwini Panwar acquitted ex-BJP MP Singh and Tomar, former WFI assistant secretary, in the case. The court on July 2 had reserved the order for today after completion of the final arguments in the case lodged by six women wrestlers. In May 2024, a court had ordered the framing of a charge of criminal intimidation against Singh. It had, however, discharged him in a complaint filed by one of the six women wrestlers. The Delhi Police had filed a chargesheet against Brij Bhushan Singh, on June 15.
