On Monday, a court in New Delhi acquitted Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the 69-year-old former head of the Indian wrestling federation and former lawmaker from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), of sexual harassment and stalking charges brought by medal-winning female athletes.
The charges and subsequent legal proceedings stemmed from accusations made by some of India's leading female wrestlers, a case that previously sparked months of high-profile street protests by the athletes.
Following the court's ruling in favor of Singh, the female athletes involved stated that their legal battle is not yet over.
