A Delhi court acquitted Brij Bhushan Singh, a former BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh, and Vinod Tomar, former assistant secretary of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), in a sexual harassment case last week. The court cited insufficient evidence as the reason for the acquittal, concluding a trial that had been ongoing for two years.

The court characterized the allegations as 'false, fabricated, and politically motivated', indicating that they were 'rehearsed, well-practiced, and planted', according to the reports. This judgment reflects the court's determination regarding the credibility of the claims made against the defendants.
