Delhi Court Acquits Former WFI Chief Singh as Wrestlers Vow High Court Appeal

A trial court cleared Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment charges on August 3, prompting the six complainants to announce an immediate challenge to the verdict.

A Delhi court acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on August 3, 2026, in a sexual harassment case brought by six women wrestlers [1]. The verdict concludes the trial phase of a case that originated with formal complaints in 2023 and led to criminal charges being framed against Singh in May 2024 for sexual harassment, outraging the modesty of a woman, and criminal intimidation [7]. Two publishers, India Today and Hindustan Times, carried reports of the acquittal on the day it was delivered, establishing the current legal baseline as a trial-level clearance rather than a final resolution.
