Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh acquittal: Vinesh Phogat, female wrestlers to appeal decision
The government and the entire system have been working to protect Brij Bhushan, the wrestler’s post said
Vinesh Phogat, a prominent female wrestler, and other women wrestlers have announced their intention to appeal the acquittal of former MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual harassment case. The court acquitted Singh and his aide Vinod Tomar on August 3, 2026, despite the wrestlers' claims of intimidation and harassment by the BJP leader.
Phogat expressed her disappointment in the court's decision, stating that it took courage for her and other wrestlers to file an FIR against Singh and that they will continue their fight for justice.
