New Delhi. Former President of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) and BJP MP from Kaiserganj Lok Sabha seat of UP, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is in trouble. Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court has ordered framing of charges against female wrestlers in the sexual harassment case. Passing the order, ACMM Priyanka Rajput has framed charges under IPC sections 354A (sexual harassment), 354D (stalking) and (506) 1 (criminal intimidation).
Delhi Police had filed a charge sheet against Brij Bhushan in June 2023. The court also ordered to frame charges against Brij Bhushan’s secretary Vinod Tomar. The court said that there was enough evidence to frame charges against Brij Bhushan. Along with this, the court has fixed May 21 for the next hearing of the case. Let us tell you that due to this matter, BJP has canceled the ticket of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh from Kaiserganj Lok Sabha seat this time. However, the ticket has been given to his son Karan Bhushan Singh in his place.
Earlier last year, Indian wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat along with many other wrestlers had protested against Brij Bhushan at Jantar Mantar, demanding action against him. After this, Brij Bhushan had to resign from the Wrestling Federation. This matter gained a lot of attention across the country. Since then, questions started being raised whether BJP will give ticket to Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections? Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is considered to have great influence in Kaiserganj Lok Sabha constituency. This is the reason why BJP gave the ticket to Brij Bhushan’s son instead of trusting any other candidate.
