She alleged that “the entire state machinery, the government, and the system have been working to protect Brij Bhushan” since the beginning of the case.In a statement issued after the verdict on Monday, Phogat accused the authorities of shielding the former BJP MP throughout the case and confirmed that the wrestlers had instructed their lawyers to appeal.”We had to muster a great deal of courage to take to the streets and get an FIR registered against a powerful leader of the ruling party. Using the influence of the government and his own political clout, Brij Bhushan intimidated several girls into withdrawing their names from the case. Yet, several women wrestlers stood firm and continued fighting against Brij Bhushan in court,” she wrote.Expressing disappointment over the verdict, Phogat said, “We are deeply saddened that the court did not find Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh guilty of the sexual harassment allegations brought by the women wrestlers.”She went on to allege that, “From the very beginning, the entire state machinery, the government, and the system have been working to protect Brij Bhushan.” Announcing the next legal step, Phogat added, “The women wrestlers have instructed their lawyers to appeal against this verdict, and the appeal will be filed as soon as possible. We have not lost hope, and the wrestlers will continue their fight.”Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe statement came hours after Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwini Panwar acquitted Singh and co-accused Vinod Tomar, the former WFI assistant secretary, in the sexual harassment case filed by six women wrestlers.Speaking to reporters outside the court, Singh welcomed the verdict, calling it an “honourable” acquittal.”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, adding that he would comment further after reading the detailed order.The court had reserved its verdict on July 2 after hearing final arguments.

Supply of medical essentials etc. I think this is important… Please take instructions, Mr Solicitor. Issue notice and list this separately,” the CJI said.The petitioner’s counsel also referred to a proposed political march and urged the court to ensure that ‘another July 20 incident should be avoided’.The bench, however, declined to comment on the proposed event.”They know how to handle it. If they cannot, come to us for mishandling. I am sure they will handle (it),” the CJI observed.The matter has been directed to be listed separately.The hearing comes after the Supreme Court declined an oral request by an advocate to take suo motu cognisance of the police action during the July 20 ‘Chalo Sansad’ protest at Jantar Mantar.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesAt the time, the bench had said it did not want to view videos of the incident during judicial proceedings and asked the advocate not to raise issues that were not before the court.Following the protests, the Supreme Court Bar Association had passed a resolution condemning the alleged use of excessive force against students and lawyers and called for an impartial, time-bound inquiry into the incident.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
