Days after wrestler Sagar Rana was murdered during the Chhatrasal brawl in Delhi, his parents have not broken their silence and want Sushil Kumar to be stripped of all his medals and be hanged. Sagar Rana’s father Ashok hoped that his son will get justice and a lesson is taught.
“We are hoping for justice. Where did he go when he was absconding, who gave him shelter and most importantly the gangsters with whom he is connected to. He should be hanged so that people learn a lesson and think before killing his own pupil,” he told India Today in an interview.
Sagar considered Sushil to be his guru and it was the two-time Olympic medallist who inspired him to take to the sport.
Kumar, who is the prime accused in a case of murder of wrestler Dhankar, and his associate Ajay Bakkarwala had been absconding since the incident of a brawl between the wrestlers on May 4. However, the two were arrested by Delhi Police on Sunday morning, which is also celebrated as World Wrestling Day.
“Our Special Team today arrested Sushil Kumar and Sunil, also known as Ajay, from Delhi’s Mundka area. They are accused of killing another wrestler. Both of them were on the run and had a reward of Rs 1 lakh and Rs 50,000 respectively. The probe is on,” said Chinmoy Biswal, Delhi Police PRO.
A team of Special Cell, consisting of 60-70 police personnel, led by Inspector Shivkumar, Inspector Karambir and supervised by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Attar Singh arrested the two from Mundka area of Delhi when they were on a two-wheeler.
