Legal Action Against Acquittal
New Delhi: On Friday, four female wrestlers filed an appeal in a sessions court, contesting a magistrate's decision that had cleared former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment allegations.
This appeal seeks to overturn the acquittal ruling made by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwini Panwar on August 3.
The petition argues that the acquittal was "legally flawed and unjustifiable."
