Former WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh Acquitted in Sexual Harassment Case

Kathmandu. Former President of the Indian Wrestling Federation and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has been acquitted by a Delhi court in a sexual harassment case. The court commented that the allegations made by the female wrestlers were 'false, fabricated, and politically motivated'.

In the verdict delivered on August 3, the court also declared Vinod Tomar, former assistant secretary of the Wrestling Federation, innocent along with Singh. According to the court's recently released order, two female wrestlers, who were considered the main basis of the case, backed down from their statements. The case weakened after they did not support the prosecution's claims.
