Delhi Court Grants Bail to WFI Ex-Chief in Harassment Case
New Delhi: A Delhi court on Thursday granted regular bail to outgoing WFI chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a case of sexual harassment of women wrestlers.
The court also allowed the bail application of suspended Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) assistant secretary Vinod Tomar.
The metropolitan court directed the accused not to leave the country without its prior permission and not offer any inducement to witnesses in the case.
The court had earlier in the day reserved its order on the bail applications of Singh and Tomar.
The judge reserved the order after hearing arguments by the counsel for the accused, the prosecution as well as the complainants.
When the court asked the prosecutor if he was opposing the bail application, he said, “I am neither opposing nor supporting.” “Application should be dealt as per law and the order passed by the court,” he told the court.
The counsel, appearing for the complainants, opposed the application, saying the accused was very influential.
The counsel for the accused told the court that he will abide by all conditions.
“No threat etc. will take place. Law is very clear. He should be granted bail. I am undertaking to abide by conditions,” the defence counsel told the court.
