Brij Bhushan Sexual Harassment Case
In July 2023, Delhi Court granted bail to Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is not only a BJP Member of Parliament but also the outgoing Chief of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). This decision comes amid the investigation into a sexual harassment case involving wrestlers. The case has drawn considerable attention and scrutiny, given Singh’s prominent roles in both politics and the national wrestling governing body.
The Delhi High Court took a significant step by instructing the ad-hoc panel responsible for the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) affairs to explain the reasons behind exempting top wrestlers, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, from the Asian Games trials. The court’s directive came during a hearing on a petition filed by Under-20 World Champion Antim Panghal and Under-23 Asian Champion Sujeet Kalkal, who raised concerns over the direct entry granted to Phogat and Punia without undergoing trials.
