A Delhi court has adjourned to September 28 the hearing on an appeal by four women wrestlers challenging the acquittal of former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Vinod Tomar. The wrestlers argue that the trial court incorrectly assessed evidence in the sexual harassment case.

Sapkal expressed disappointment over the Delhi court's verdict and remarked on the timing of the decision, saying it had undermined the honour of athletes who had brought laurels to the country at the recently concluded Commonwealth Games
