# Court Acquits Brij Bhushan, Calls Allegations False and Politically Motivated 2026-08-10T01:35:34+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A Delhi court has acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and ex-assistant secretary Vinod Tomar in a sexual harassment case, calling the allegations "false, fabricated, and politically motivated." Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwini Panwar said the case was part of a deep conspiracy hatched by "coaches of the Mahadev Academy" and two prosecution witnesses. The court pointed to "material contradictions" in the complainants' versions, including one incident reportedly shifting from Turkey in 2015 to Mongolia in 2016. Two of five alleged victims turned hostile, saying they were pressured to make accusations. The court noted the absence of contemporaneous complaints and independent witnesses, saying the allegations had been "tailor-made." ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: acquittal, Brij Bhushan, Delhi court, sexual harassment, WFI, wrestlers Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-court-acquits-brij-bhushan-calls-allegations-false/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
