Delhi Court Acquits Former WFI Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in Sexual Harassment CaseNext

Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and assistant secretary Vinod Tomar in a sexual harassment case filed by six women wrestlers. The court cited insufficient evidence to prove the charges, which included sexual harassment and criminal intimidation. The case followed protests by prominent wrestlers and a lengthy investigation by Delhi Police. Singh and Tomar denied the allegations throughout the trial, which lasted over three years and involved extensive hearings and submissions from both sides.
