The 39-year-old has been accused by prosecutors of being the ‘kingpin’ in the murder of fellow wrestler Sagar Dhankar, that took place in May last year.
Two-time Indian Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar will stand trial for allegedly murdering a fellow wrestler during a stadium brawl last year, a lawyer said Thursday.
Two-time Indian Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar and 17 others have been slapped with charges relating to murder, attempt to murder, rioting, unlawful assembly, and other sections including criminal conspiracy by a Delhi Court. The Delhi court has also framed charges against two absconding accused. Sushil Kumar hatched a conspiracy that led to a brawl at the Chhatrasal Stadium and allegedly the death of a former junior national wrestling champion, the Delhi Police said in its charge sheet in the murder case.
