Vinesh, Bajrang Say Women Wrestlers Will Appeal Delhi Court Verdict Clearing Brij Bhushan Of Sexual Harassment
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh: Ace wrestler and MLA of Julana constituency in Haryana Vinesh Phogat and Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist wrestler Bajrang Punia have expressed deep disappointment over a Delhi court verdict clearing former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual violence charges, stating that women wrestlers will challenge the decision in a higher court.
A Delhi court on Monday acquitted former ex-WFI chief Brij Bhushan and former WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar in the sexual harassment and intimidation case lodged by several women wrestlers, holding that the prosecution failed to establish the charges beyond reasonable doubt.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Ashwini Panwar of the Rouse Avenue Courts passed the order acquitting both accused after trial in the case.
