Wrestler’s murder: Supplementary chargesheet filed

New Delhi, October 28

The Delhi Police today informed a court here that it has filed a supplementary chargesheet against the remaining accused in the Chhatrasal Stadium murder case involving Olympic medallist wrestler Sushil Kumar.

The first chargesheet which was filed by the police on August 2 named 13 accused, including Sushil Kumar as the “main” accused. There are a total of 17 accused in the murder case, officials said.

Kumar, along with others had allegedly assaulted former junior national wrestling champion Sagar Dhankar and his friends at the stadium in May over an alleged property dispute. Dhankar later succumbed to injuries.

In the first chargesheet, the police had said that the brawl at the stadium was the result of an alleged conspiracy hatched by Sushil Kumar, who wanted to re-establish his supremacy among younger wrestlers. Kumar’s bail was rejected earlier this month. — TNS
