A Delhi court acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and co-accused Vinod Tomar in a sexual harassment case filed by six women wrestlers, citing lack of evidence and inconsistencies in testimonies. The verdict ended a high-profile legal battle that began with protests by prominent wrestlers in 2023. Singh and supporters welcomed the acquittal, calling it a moment of relief, while complainants, including Olympians Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, expressed disappointment and vowed to appeal the decision, alleging systemic bias and intimidation.
