NEW DELHI: Four women wrestlers have challenged the acquittal of former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual harassment case.
The wrestlers have approached the court seeking a review of the decision that cleared Singh of the charges brought against him.
The case stems from allegations of sexual harassment made by women wrestlers against the former WFI chief. The allegations had led to protests by wrestlers and a wider public debate over the handling of complaints within the wrestling federation.
The latest legal challenge seeks judicial consideration of the acquittal and the issues raised by the petitioners.
The matter will now be considered by the court, with further proceedings expected in accordance with the law.
