Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh (born 8 January 1957) is an Indian politician[1] who is serving as Member of Parliament from Kaiserganj as a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party.[2] He was the president of the Wrestling Federation of India.[3]
His political career is marked by many controversies, as he was one of the prominent names who was arrested in the demolition of the Babri Masjid case and was also booked under the anti-terrorism law TADA for harbouring the shooters of Dawood Ibrahim gang.[4] However, he was later acquitted for lack of evidence.[5][6]
He is currently at the centre of the accusations of sexual harassment by India's top female wrestlers, wherein 7 female wrestlers including 1 minor have testified against him in an FIR.[7][8] These wrestlers include Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat, in the ongoing wrestlers' protests at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.[9][10]
