Women wrestlers challenge Brij Bhushan acquittal in sexual assault case

Women wrestlers have challenged the acquittal of former Bharatiya Janata Party leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual assault case, according to NDTV. The matter is likely to be heard by Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh on Saturday. The supplied report does not state the grounds of the challenge, identify the legal provisions being invoked or specify the relief sought by the women wrestlers.

It also does not provide details of the earlier acquittal, the allegations considered by the court or the evidence relied upon in that decision. Singh’s response to the challenge was not included in the available material. The expected hearing would place the challenge before the special court, but the report does not say whether the judge is expected to issue directions, consider arguments on the merits or decide another procedural question.

No details were provided about the number of petitioners or the identity of the complainants. The case involves women wrestlers and Singh, who is identified in the supplied headline as a BJP figure. Beyond the planned hearing, the available information does not establish the next legal step or indicate how long proceedings may take.

NDTV’s report therefore confirms the challenge and the likely listing before Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh, while leaving the legal arguments, the court’s earlier reasoning and any response from Singh outside the supplied material.
