NEW DELHI: Six days after Delhi Police issued a look-out circular against two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar in connection with the Chhatrasal Stadium brawl that led to the death of a wrestler, a Delhi court on Saturday issued a non-bailable warrant against Kumar and six others.
A senior police officer said Delhi Police had moved an application before the court to issue a non-bailable warrant against wrestler Sushil Kumar and six others who have been identified as suspects in the alleged murder. The application was approved on Saturday, the officer said.
The wrestler who died was 23-year-old Sagar Dhankad. He and two of his friends, Amit Kumar and Sonu, were brutally assaulted allegedly by other wrestlers inside the stadium in northwest Delhi on the night of May 6. According to police, the brawl took place over vacating a flat in the Model Town area. The victims had alleged that Kumar was present at the spot when the clash took place.
