Wrestler Vinesh Phogat during a 53kg category wrestling match against Nishu at the Asian Games selection trials, in New Delhi, Saturday, May 30, 2026. “We had to gather a lot of courage to come out on the streets and get an FIR registered against a muscleman leader of the ruling party,” Olympian Vinesh Phogat said in a statement on X. “Using his power and influence, Brij Bhushan had frightened several young women and forced them to withdraw their complaints.” Phogat, who had revealed earlier this year that she was among the six complainants, said the wrestlers were disappointed with the court’s decision. “We are deeply saddened that the court did not find Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh guilty in the sexual harassment case filed by the women wrestlers,” she said.
