  "account": "A Delhi court acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Vinod Tomar, former WFI assistant secretary, of sexual harassment allegations against them, stating that the allegations were \"false\" and \"fabricated\" and part of a \"deep conspiracy which seems to be politically motivated\". The court highlighted inconsistencies in witness statements, contradictions in the alleged incidents, and the absence of eyewitnesses as reasons for acquittal. The court also noted that two witnesses turned hostile, stating that they were coerced into giving their testimony.",
  "summary": "Last week, a Delhi court acquitted Singh, former BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh, and Vinod Tomar, former WFI assistant secretary, for lack of evidence, two years after the trial began.",
