Wrestler Sushil Kumar Wanted Special Diet In Jail. Court Replied...

The court added that Sushil Kumar, accused of murdering a fellow wrestler, is not suffering from any disease which requires a special diet.

Sushil Kumar's demands for a special diet and protein supplements in jail appear to be "desires and wishes", not necessities, a Delhi court said today as it rejected the jailed wrestler's petition. "By the way of present application, the accused/applicant is not claiming any deficiency in a person's daily diet, their quantities and the common source of nutrients as mentioned in Delhi Prisons Rules, 2018. Meaning thereby, the accused/applicant has been provided with a balanced and healthy diet, as per entitlement of Under Trial Prisoners in terms of Delhi Prisons Rules, 2018," the court said in its order. The court added that Sushil Kumar, accused of murdering a fellow wrestler, is not suffering from any disease which requires a special diet. "The law should be equal and should be equally administered, that like should be treated alike," the court observed.
