Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh on Tuesday granted two-day interim bail to the embattled Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in the sexual harassment case lodged by women wrestlers.

Brij Bhushan got relief on a personal bond of Rs 25,000. His regular bail petition will be considered on Thursday. At the hearing, Brij Bhushan's counsel alleged a media trial was going on against him.

The magistrate advised the lawyer to move an application either in the metropolitan court or the high court. But, no such application was moved. The court also granted bail to Vinod Tomar, the suspended WFI assistant secretary, in the case.
