Four women wrestlers move sessions court to challenge Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh acquittal

Four women wrestlers on Friday, September 25, 2026, moved a sessions court in New Delhi to challenge the acquittal of former Wrestling Federation of India chief and former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual harassment case.

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is identified in court documents and reports as a former Chief of the Wrestling Federation of India and a former BJP Member of Parliament. The appeal targets an acquittal order issued by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwini Panwar on August 3. According to the plea, the order was "erroneous and unsustainable in law".

The application was filed in a sessions court on the date noted above and seeks judicial review of the magistrate’s August 3 decision. The filing asserts legal error in the acquittal and asks the sessions court to overturn or set aside that order.

The published report carrying these developments appeared on September 25, 2026, at 04:00 pm IST in New Delhi. File photo credit for coverage is attributed to Shiv Kumar Pushpakar.

The matter is likely to be heard by Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh on Saturday.
