Former Wrestling Federation Head Resists Guilty Plea in Sexual Harassment Case

Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Singh and official Vinod Tomar have pleaded not guilty in three sexual harassment cases filed by six women wrestlers. Singh, a BJP leader, refuted the charges, stating “I haven’t done anything wrong.” Tomar also denied the allegations, claiming to possess evidence that will be presented in court. The court had previously framed charges against Singh under IPC Sections 354 (assault with intent to outrage modesty) and 354A (sexual harassment), as well as Section 506-part 1 (criminal intimidation) based on allegations by two complainants. However, Singh was discharged on the allegations of the sixth complainant. Tomar, meanwhile, has been charged under Section 506-part 1 of the IPC based on the allegations of one complainant.
