An Indian court on Monday acquitted the former head of the country's wrestling federation of sexual harassment and stalking charges brought by female athletes.
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a former lawmaker from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had denied allegations that he groped wrestlers and demanded sexual favors.
What was the reaction to Singh's acquittal?
Singh's lawyer Rajiv Mohan said the New Delhi court found "inconsistencies" in witness statements and "contradictions on major issues."
"I had complete faith that justice would be done," Singh told reporters after the verdict. "I never considered myself a criminal at all."
