This victory parade is being seen as a significant political and social victory. A grand convoy of over 60 vehicles traversed the streets of Ayodhya, accompanied by over 1000 supporters. Young supporters waved flags and chanted slogans like "Brij Bhushan Zindabad" (Long live Brij Bhushan) and "Saty ki Jeet Hui" (Truth has prevailed).
The atmosphere was a clear display of strength, signaling Brij Bhushan's political comeback. The massive crowd of supporters clearly indicates their unwavering faith and respect for their leader.
Beginning with Religious Blessings

After seeking the blessings of Bajrangbali, he spoke to the media, stating that this was a victory for justice. He thanked his supporters, emphasizing that their struggle symbolized the triumph of truth, a victory he believes will endure.
Family Reaction
Brij Bhushan's son and MLA, Pratik Bhushan Singh, posted on X (formerly Twitter): "We have achieved a judicial victory in a false and fabricated case. Every baseless allegation is now being shattered in the court of justice. This is the victory of truth, and this victory will continue." Pratik Bhushan's statement clearly shows the family's unwavering commitment to fighting this legal battle and the significant political relief it provides.
Allegations and Court Relief
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh faced serious allegations of sexual harassment from female wrestlers, one of whom was a minor. This case caused considerable political and social upheaval. Delhi Police filed two FIRs against him at Connaught Place police station – one under sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and another under the POCSO Act.
However, in the POCSO Act case, the minor complainant withdrew her allegations, leading the police to file a closure report. This development strengthened Brij Bhushan's position. Meanwhile, a chargesheet has been filed based on the complaints of five female wrestlers in the other sexual harassment case. The hearing of this case is currently pending.
Ongoing Legal Battle
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has challenged the FIR, chargesheet, and trial court proceedings in the Delhi High Court. The court previously issued a summons to the minor complainant in the case, directing her to appear on May 26th to determine whether the police's closure report should be accepted.
