The Supreme Court cancelled the bail of Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar in the case of the murder of wrestler Sagar Dhankar at the Chhatrasal Stadium in the national capital. A bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and Prashant Kumar Mishra set aside the March 4 order of the Delhi High Court granting bail to Kumar.
The wrestler has been asked to surrender within a week. Kumar and others are accused of carrying out a murderous attack on Dhankhar at the Chhatrasal Stadium in May 2021 over an alleged property dispute. Two of Dhankhar's friends were also injured in the attack. According to the post-mortem report, Dhankhar suffered a serious brain injury after being hit by a blunt object.
