Delhi Court Acquits Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in Sexual Harassment Case Citing Lack of Evidence
A Delhi court acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual harassment case filed by six women wrestlers, citing lack of evidence and contradictions in testimonies. The court described the allegations as politically motivated and fabricated, noting some complainants admitted they were pressured to make accusations. Singh alleged a conspiracy involving the Hooda family after he defeated Deepender Hooda in federation elections. The case sparked protests led by prominent wrestlers, but the court found inconsistencies and maintained Singh's innocence.
