A Delhi court has deferred its order on framing charges against BJP MP and former wrestling body chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers.
Brij Bhushan had filed a fresh appeal in the Rouse Avenue Court claiming he was not in India when the incident occurred.
The prosecution called it a delaying tactic and opposed the application.
The court has reserved its order on Brij Bhushan’s application for April 26.
Brij Bhushan faces charges of sexually harassing women wrestlers, which sparked protests by the country’s top wrestlers last year. He has denied the charges, but stepped aside late last year after helming the Wrestling Federation of India for 12 years.
The BJP has dropped the six-time MP as a candidate for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
