Sushil Kumar, a two-time Olympian and wrestler, was nabbed by the Delhi Police on Sunday, just days after eluding capture. Sushil Kumar, who was remanded after his arrest, told police that he was not present at the crime site where Sagar Rana, 23, was murdered. The Delhi Police, on the other hand, has recently issued a photo of Sushil Kumar at the crime scene in Chhatrasal Stadium. Sushil Kumar can be plainly seen in the footage supplied by sources among a group of males who were present with him.
Earlier after a two-week manhunt, the Olympic wrestler was apprehended by Delhi Police on Sunday. Along with the wrestler, the cops also arrested his buddy Ajay Kumar. Following this significant development, Sushil Kumar was remanded in police custody for six days by a Delhi court. Kumar behaved 'like a criminal,' according to the police, since he continually changed his locations and used 14 SIM cards to avoid being tracked by the Delhi Police.
According to sources, a brawl broke out amongst wrestlers at Chhatrasal Stadium on the night of May 4-5, which swiftly escalated after one of the group fired bullets. The injured wrestlers were brought to the Civil Lines Trauma Centre, where one of them, former junior national champion Sagar Rana, died as a result of his injuries.
Prince Dalal, 24, of Jhajjar, Haryana, was detained in the case carrying double-barrel-loaded firearms a few days later. Sonu Mahal, another suspect in the shooting, is said to be a close friend of mobster Kala Jathedi. Sushil Kumar had also been mentioned as a suspect in the case, and authorities had organised multiple squads to track him down. Kumar, on the other hand, denied his involvement, claiming that those engaged were not his wrestlers.
