False, Politically Motivated: What Delhi Court Said While Acquitting Brij Bhushan

A Delhi court, while acquitting former BJP MP and former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers, questioned the credibility of the allegations and observed that they appeared to be false, fabricated and politically motivated.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (MP-MLA Court) Ashwani Panwar acquitted Singh and former WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar on August 3, holding that the prosecution had failed to establish the charges beyond reasonable doubt.

The court also took note of prosecution witnesses turning hostile during the trial and examined the conduct of the complainants after the alleged incidents.
