Sushil Kumar arrested: Wrestler sent to six-day police custody in murder case

The court noted that the involvement of a large number of people, including members of notorious gangs from outside Delhi, is suspected in the case and they are yet to be arrested. 

New Delhi: A Delhi court sent Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar to six days police custody on Sunday for interrogation in connection with the killing of a fellow wrestler, saying the allegations against him are serious in nature and that no one is above the law. Kumar and his associates allegedly assaulted wrestler Sagar Dhankar (23) and two of his friends, Sonu and Amit Kumar, at the Chhatrasal stadium in New Delhi on the intervening night of May 4 and 5. Sagar succumbed to the injuries later. Kumar was arrested along with co-accused Ajay from outer Delhi's Mundka on Sunday. The two-time Olympic medallist was on the run for nearly three weeks. Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra allowed the custodial interrogation of Kumar, who was produced before the court by the police, which sought 12 days of custody to quiz him.
