Delhi Court Issues Notice on Appeal Challenging Brij Bhushan Singh's Acquittal
A Delhi court has issued notice to former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, his aide Vinod Tomar, and the Delhi Police in response to an appeal by four women wrestlers challenging their acquittal in a sexual harassment case. The magisterial court had acquitted Singh and Tomar in August, citing lack of evidence and suggesting the allegations were politically motivated. The appeal argues the acquittal relied on outdated assumptions about victims and was legally unsound. The next hearing is scheduled for October 9.
