Delhi court acquits Brij Bhushan Singh and Vinod Tomar
Published
A Delhi court acquitted former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and aide Vinod Tomar in the sexual-harassment case brought after complaints by women wrestlers, Bar & Bench and The Hindu report. Media were excluded from the courtroom; Singh's lawyers called it an honourable acquittal, while a prosecutor said further action would be considered after reviewing the detailed order.
Why it matters
