Delhi Court Acquits Brij Bhushan Singh, Cites Fabricated Sexual Harassment Allegations
A Delhi court acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and assistant secretary Vinod Tomar, ruling that sexual harassment allegations against them were false, fabricated, and politically motivated. The court noted that witnesses appeared tutored and that the complaints showed signs of prior planning and inconsistencies. Two complainants turned hostile, weakening the prosecution's case. The Bharatiya Janata Party called for accountability against those who allegedly orchestrated the false accusations. The court found insufficient evidence to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt.
