NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has granted wrestler Bajrang Punia an exemption from personal appearance for the day in a criminal defamation complaint filed against him by wrestling coach Naresh Dahiya.
Metropolitan Magistrate Yashdeep Chahal, presiding over the case, had summoned Bajrang Punia to appear in court today. However, the wrestler's legal counsel requested an exemption on medical grounds, citing Punia's ongoing battle with fever.
