Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh acquitted in sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers

Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on Monday acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and former WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar in the sexual harassment case filed by six women wrestlers. The case arose from allegations made by women wrestlers against Singh during his tenure as WFI chief. The Delhi Police had filed a chargesheet against Singh in 2023 under Sections 354, 354A, 354D and 506(1) of the Indian Penal Code, alleging offences including sexual harassment, assault or criminal force against women, and criminal intimidation. Tomar was named as a co-accused.
