A Delhi court on Friday sought responses from former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Singh and former assistant secretary Vinod Tomar after four women wrestlers challenged the August 3 verdict that acquitted the two in a sexual harassment case. The move keeps alive a closely watched legal battle that has become a defining test of accountability in Indian sport.
The appeal comes against the backdrop of months of public protest by elite wrestlers, who alleged misconduct and demanded action from the authorities. The case now moves into a fresh judicial phase, with the court’s notice setting up the next round of arguments over whether the acquittal should stand.
