Women Wrestlers Appeal Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's Acquittal in Sexual Harassment Case
Four women wrestlers have appealed the acquittal of former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and co-accused Vinod Tomar in a sexual harassment case. The appeal challenges the August 3 magistrate court order, arguing it relied on outdated stereotypes about victim behavior and selectively assessed evidence. The Sessions Court in Delhi is scheduled to hear the appeal, which follows protests and a police investigation triggered by the allegations during Singh's tenure as WFI chief.
