A Delhi court acquitted former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual harassment case filed against him by six women wrestlers. The Bharatiya Janata Party MP said that the judgement was a matter of happiness for him and his supporters. Jan Suraaj party chief Prashant Kishor won Bihar’s Bankipur bye-poll on his electoral debut. The bye-election became necessary after the MLA, Bharatiya Janata Party National President Nitin Nabin, resigned after becoming a Rajya Sabha MP. The Supreme Court clarified that states can withdraw first information reports filed against youth protesters wherever permissible, in accordance with the law.
