A Senior Official of Delhi Police on Sunday denied stories that India’s two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar has been arrested. On Saturday, it was broadly reported that the embellished wrestler was nabbed by Delhi Police close to Jalandhar for alleged hyperlinks with the homicide of former worldwide wrestler Sagar Dhankar.
“Wrestler Sushil Kumar has not been arrested but. A staff of Delhi Police is current in Punjab,” a Senior Official of Delhi Police told ANI.
IANS also reported that His associate Ajay Kumar, accused in the case, has also been arrested.
On May 18, Kumar had moved an anticipatory bail in New Delhi’s Rohini court, but the court rejected his bail plea. Last week, Delhi Police had announced a cash award of Rs 1 lakh for feedback on the celebrated wrestler who was absconding since May 4.
On May 4, two groups of wrestlers clashed with each other at Chhatrasal Stadium leading to the death of 23-year-old Dhankar due to injuries he sustained during the brawl.
The Delhi court had also issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against Kumar.
Delhi Police issued a lookout notice for Kumar.
