Wrestling Federation of India Chief and Assistant Secretary Acquitted in Sexual Harassment Case

Wrestling Federation of India Chief and Assistant Secretary Acquitted in Sexual Harassment Case

New Delhi: The Rouse Avenue Court on Monday acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and former WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar in the alleged sexual harassment case involving women wrestlers. The case stemmed from allegations made by women wrestlers against Singh during his tenure as WFI chief. The Delhi Police had filed a chargesheet against Singh in 2023, alleging offences including sexual harassment, assault or criminal force against women and criminal intimidation. Tomar was also named as a co-accused in the case. Last month, the court had fixed August 3 as the date for the pronouncement of judgment in the matter linked to allegations raised by women wrestlers. The proceedings were conducted in a closed courtroom. After the completion of the final arguments from both sides, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Ashwani Panwar reserved the judgment after hearing detailed submissions from the prosecution and defence. The court has also directed the counsels to file their written submissions within two weeks. During the final argument, senior advocate Rebecca John advanced arguments on behalf of the complainants, while the defence team led by advocate Rajiv Mohan, assisted by Rehan Khan and Rishabh Bhati, completed their submissions on June 30. The case is linked to an FIR registered by Delhi Police following a protest by women wrestlers at Jantar Mantar, where allegations of sexual harassment during Singh’s tenure as WFI chief were raised. Earlier, Delhi Police had filed a 1500-page charge sheet on June 15, 2023, after completing its investigation into the allegations. The charge sheet invoked provisions under Sections 354, 354A, 354D and 506(1) of the Indian Penal Code. The court had earlier recorded the statement of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) member on May 12 along with the deposition of the investigating officer during the course of trial proceedings. The accused have been facing trial in connection with allegations made by women wrestlers from India and abroad, who had accused Singh of sexual harassment during his tenure at the helm of the Wrestling Federation of India.

Delhi Court Acquits Former WFI Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Co-Accused in Sexual Harassment Case

A Delhi court on Monday, August 3, acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and co-accused Vinod Tomar in a sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwini Panwar acquitted ex-BJP MP Singh and Tomar, former WFI assistant secretary, in the case. Speaking to reporters outside the court, Singh said the court had “honourably” acquitted him and Tomar. “On the first day, I had said that if any allegation against me was proved, I would hang myself. The court has now honourably acquitted me. I am happy and grateful to my lawyers,” he said. “For now, this is all I can say. I will comment further after going through the court’s reasoned order,” the ex-BJP MP added. Public prosecutor Manish Rawat, however, said that after examining the detailed order, “appropriate action” would be taken before the higher courts. The prosecution can challenge the magisterial court’s verdict before the Delhi High Court. The court on July 2 had reserved the order for August 3 after completion of the final arguments in the case lodged by six women wrestlers. In May 2024, a court had ordered the framing of a charge of criminal intimidation against Singh. It had, however, discharged him in a complaint filed by one of the six women wrestlers. The Delhi Police had filed a chargesheet against Singh, a six-time MP, on June 15 under sections 354 (assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354A (sexual harassment), 354D (stalking) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the then Indian Penal Code. A detailed order is awaited.

Businessman Who Fled After Cheating Client Arrested After 21 Years

Businessman Who Fled After Cheating Client Arrested After 21 Years

Mumbai: A Nashik-based businessman, who was allegedly on the run for 21 years in a fraud case, was finally caught when he arrived in Mumbai to complete his special intensive revision (SIR) process. A court had issued an arrest warrant against him. Avadhut Chafekar, 65, who allegedly cheated a client of Rs9 lakh and fled Mumbai in 2005, was in for a rude shock when BKC police knocked on his hotel room door on July 31. He had checked in for an overnight stay after completing his SIR process. Chafekar managed to remain untraceable for over two decades by never purchasing a SIM card in his own name, police said, adding that he used documents belonging to others. According to officials, he was taken completely by surprise when officers arrived with the arrest warrant. After fleeing Mumbai, Chafekar allegedly built a new life in Nashik, where he started an electrical manufacturing business. Police coordinated with the SIR electoral team, asking them to alert them if anyone named Chafekar arrived to update their records. Accordingly, the officials promptly shared the contact number mentioned by the accused in his SIR form. Police found that the number was registered using someone else’s documents, but they managed to zero in on Chafekar. The action was initiated following DCP Nimit Goyal’s directive to clear backlog cases, after which a special team led by ACP Sanjay Gaikwad was formed.

Fatal Shooting at Idaho In-N-Out Restaurant Leaves Four Dead, Suspect Dies from Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

Fatal Shooting at Idaho In-N-Out Restaurant Leaves Four Dead, Suspect Dies from Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

The suspect in a fatal shooting at a fast-food restaurant in Idaho died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said Sunday, crediting an off-duty officer and a citizen with firing shots that diverted him. Investigators are confident that the gunman, identified as 24-year-old Chad Williams, acted alone during the shooting Saturday at an In-N-Out location in Twin Falls, Police Chief Matthew Hicks said at a news conference. In all, four people died, including Williams, and seven others were injured at the recently opened restaurant in the southern Idaho city of about 56,000 people. Authorities said Sunday that two of the injured were treated at a hospital and released, three were listed as stable, and two were in critical condition. Hicks said an off-duty state trooper and an armed citizen — whose identities weren't immediately disclosed — both fired back and diverted the gunman from the restaurant. “We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties,” the chief said. “We want to take a moment and commend the actions of the off-duty officer and the citizen, and their heroic action to stop this incident.” Hicks said detectives are working to determine Williams' motives, and said the suspect's family was cooperating fully with law enforcement. Officials asked potential witnesses or anyone with information to contact police. The chief also warned of misinformation spreading online identifying a different man as the shooter, saying that person had “no involvement in this incident whatsoever.”
