Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh: A Delhi court on Thursday granted bail to wrestler Bajrang Punia in a criminal defamation complaint filed against him by sports coach Naresh Dahiya.

Dahiya has alleged that Punia, in company of other wrestlers/persons, made defamatory remarks against him in a press conference, held on May 10 at Jantar Mantar during the protest by female wrestlers against alleged sexual harassment by BJP MP and former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

On August 3, Metropolitan Magistrate Yashdeep Chahal of Patiala House Courts had summoned Punia in the matter, holding that he is of the prima facie view that all the ingredients of defamation were made out.
