Delhi Court frames charges against Brij Bhushan Singh
Today (May 10), Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court found enough evidence to frame charges against Brij Bhushan in five of the six cases pinned against him. However, the court dismissed the sixth case against him.
“Charges were framed against Brij Bhushan under sections 354 and 354A in respect of each victim” (assault of criminal force on a woman with intent to outrage her modesty), the court said.
