Court Decision on Sexual Harassment Allegations

The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi has decided to reserve its judgment regarding the sexual harassment allegations made by female wrestlers against former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwini Pawar announced that the final verdict on whether Singh will be convicted or acquitted will be delivered on August 3, 2026.

Arguments from Both Sides Concluded

Judge Pawar concluded the hearing after listening to the final arguments presented by senior lawyer Rebecca John on behalf of the female wrestlers, as well as Rajiv Mohan, the lawyer representing Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, and the government lawyer from Delhi. This case revolves around allegations of sexual harassment made by six female wrestlers, which led to the Delhi Police filing a First Information Report (FIR).

Charges Filed Under Various Sections

On June 15, 2023, the Delhi Police filed a charge sheet against Brij Bhushan Singh under several serious sections of the Indian Penal Code, including Section 354, Section 354A, Section 354D, and Section 506(1). Subsequently, on May 10, 2024, the trial court framed charges against Singh concerning the harassment of five female wrestlers, determining that there was sufficient evidence to proceed with the case.

Co-Accused Also Faces Charges

The court has also framed charges against co-accused Vinod Tomar, the former assistant secretary of the Wrestling Federation, for criminal intimidation (Section 506) related to threatening one of the victims. It is noteworthy that a minor wrestler had previously accused Brij Bhushan Singh, but later withdrew her complaint, leading to the closure of that case under the POCSO Act based on the Delhi Police's cancellation report.
