Delhi court "honourably acquits" BJP ex-MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in wrestling harassment case
High-profile acquittal of sexual harassment allegations raises concerns about justice.
On August 3, a Delhi court acquitted Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, former BJP MP and ex-Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief, and co-accused Vinod Tomar in an alleged sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers. The court used the term "honourably acquitted," leading Singh to assert his innocence. Supporters celebrated with crackers and flower petals as he returned home. WFI President Sanjay Singh expressed happiness over the verdict. Delhi Police had filed a 1500-page charge sheet in June 2023, following an FIR registered after women wrestlers protested at Jantar Mantar.
