GermanyAn Indian court acquitted Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a former BJP politician and head of the wrestling federation, of sexual harassment and stalking charges brought by female athletes. Singh, who denied the allegations, was found to have inconsistencies in witness statements and contradictions in key issues. Supporters celebrated the verdict, while leading wrestler Vinesh Phogat vowed to challenge the decision in a higher court. The case sparked months of protests in 2023, with athletes like Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia demanding action against Singh. Police charged him in 2023 under pressure from protesters, and formal charges were filed in 2024. Singh, who completed his parliamentary term that year, was not re-elected, with his son running in his place.
