A Controversial Political Figure
Brij Bhushan Singh has remained a controversial figure since 2023, following serious allegations of sexual harassment.
Top women wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia and others, accused him of sexual harassment, molestation, stalking, groping and intimidation over several years, dating back to around 2012. Singh has denied all allegations, calling them a political conspiracy orchestrated by rivals. He was never arrested and received early bail.
Political Setbacks and Recent Developments
In the aftermath of the controversy, Singh was denied a BJP ticket for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, with his son Karan contesting instead. He was also removed from his position as WFI president.
Singh has faced several legal cases in the past, including charges under TADA in the 1990s, alleged links to the Babri demolition and cases related to rioting and attempt to murder, most of which ended in acquittal or closure.
In January 2026, Singh claimed he was ‘humiliated and forced out’ due to a conspiracy and vowed to return to the Lok Sabha, even as an independent candidate if required. Despite ongoing controversies, he continues to remain active in regional political events.
