Two-time Olympic wrestling medallist Sushil Kumar, wanted in connection with the murder of a former junior national wrestling champion, has been arrested by the Delhi Police in the Indian capital New Delhi.
The 37-year-old had been on the run since 23-year-old Sagar Dhankhar was beaten to death on May 4.
A Delhi court on Tuesday rejected a bid by his lawyers to prevent his arrest and Kumar was presented before a city court on Sunday, the police said.
Kumar, who had also won a world title and Commonwealth Games golds, was present when former junior national champion Dhankad was beaten to death at New Delhi’s Chhatrasal Stadium in a clash between rival wrestlers, according to the police.
