Two more associates of Sushil Kumar arrested

Saturday, 29 May 2021 | Staff Reporter | NEW DELHI

Two more associates of international wrestler Sushil Kumar were arrested by Delhi Police in connection with the Sagar Dhankar murder case. This is the ninth arrest so far in the sensational case involving the Olympian. One of the arrested persons, has been identified as  Rohit Karor, who has been a sparring partner of Sushil for the last 14 years and was also present at Chhatrasal stadium on the day of the incident.

Meanwhile, the Crime Branch team also took Sushil and his aide Ajay to Punjab’s Bathinda in connection with the ongoing investigation. 

In a related development,  the Delhi High Court  on Friday declined to entertain a plea to restrain the media from ‘sensationalising’ the trial of wrestler and Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar in connection with the death of a 23-year old wrestler, and seeking rules for reporting criminal cases, saying a PIL cannot be filed for an individual who is a “vigilant person”.

According to a senior police official, Rohit and another accused Binder were nabbed on Thursday night from Delhi’s Tikri border after specific inputs were received regarding them by the police team of Crime Branch.

“Initially they told the investigaters that they were present at Chhatrasal stadium with Sushil at the time of incident. They are being interrogated for their role in the murder”, a senior police official said.  Earlier, a video had surfaced on social media, purportedly showing two-time Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar and his associates allegedly hitting another man with sticks.

In the video, Kumar and his associates are clearly seen carrying sticks in their hands while the man can be seen lying on the ground in an injured condition. A man can be seen carrying a pistol in the video.
