"Astounding Facts" and Observations Highlighted by the Court
The trial judge dissected the testimonies of the complainants and pointed out several striking inconsistencies, factual flaws, and indicators of a broader conspiracy:
- Factual Impossibilities & Alibis: Certain incidents claimed to have occurred at the WFI office on specific dates were disproven because official records, witness testimony, and digital footprints (such as Facebook posts) established that Singh was physically present in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, conducting selection trials at that exact time. Furthermore, one incident was alleged to have taken place on a Sunday when the WFI office was closed; the complainant subsequently altered the date, which the court flagged.
- "Highly Unnatural" Public Incidents: The court dismissed allegations of forced hugs and groping in crowded public venues (such as stadiums during international events and the Jakarta Asian Games), noting it was entirely improbable that such acts could happen in plain view of coaches, media, and family members without anyone raising an alarm or intervening.
- Tutored Testimony and Shared Addresses: The court observed that multiple complainants—despite living in different places—listed the exact same address on their formal complaints, pointing to coordinated planning, "tutoring," and shared coaching influences.
- Hostile Witnesses and Altered Statements: Out of the primary complainants, two later turned hostile, and their testimonies actively discredited the prosecution's narrative. The court noted that the witnesses repeatedly altered their statements from their earliest accounts.
- Political Motivation and Conspiracy: The judgment concluded that the case bore indicators of a collective fabrication orchestrated under a "deep conspiracy which seems to be motivated politically" involving specific coaches and complainants.
