Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar, arrested in a murder case, has been sent to four days in police custody today. The wrestler was arrested last week for his alleged involvement in the death of a 23-year-old wrestler at Delhi's Chhatrasal Stadium, along with co-accused Ajay from outer Delhi's Mundka area. According to police, Sushil Kumar and his associates assaulted fellow wrestler Sagar Dhankar and his two friends on May 4 at the stadium. All three had to be hospitalised. Mr Dhankar later died of his injuries. Police had earlier found a video of the incident recorded by Sushil Kumar to terrorise the wrestling circuit in the city and presented it to court. Screengrabs of the wrestler assaulting the victim with sticks surfaced two days ago. "Sushil had asked (his friend) Prince to make that video. He and his associates thrashed the victims like animals. He wanted to establish his fear in the wrestling community," the police told a court last week.More Related News
