'Entire system working to protect Brij Bhushan': Vinesh Phogat on ex-MP's acquittal
Former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh expressed his deep faith in justice after Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court acquitted him and former WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar in a sexual harassment case. Singh, who had previously claimed he would "hang myself" if any allegations against him were proven true, stated that he always maintained his stance that the case was a conspiracy.
He reiterated his willingness to face the "hardest punishment" if even one allegation was proven true. Singh emphasized that the court's decision to acquit him and Tomar with honor marked a victory for those whose rights were violated. The case originated from allegations filed by six women wrestlers against Singh and Tomar, leading to a nearly 1,500-page chargesheet being filed against the duo.
The trial concluded with Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwani Panwar delivering the verdict on August 3, 2023.
