'Would have hanged myself if guilty': Brij Bhushan's 1st reaction after acquittal
A Delhi court acquitted former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Vinod Tomar. Singh stated he always believed justice would be served and "never felt guilty". He reiterated his claim that the allegations were part of a conspiracy against him. The court acquitted both individuals after reviewing the chargesheet.
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.
