The Supreme Court today cancelled the bail to two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar. He is the prime accused in the murder of junior national wrestling champion Sagar Dhankar.
A bench of justices Sanjay Karol and Prashant Kumar Mishra set aside the order of the Delhi High Court granting bail to Kumar. The judge said that Kumar must surrender within one week.
Kumar, along with several others, is accused of assaulting Dhankar and his two friends, in the parking lot of Delhi’s Chhatrasal Stadium in 2021, allegedly over a property dispute.
In his bail plea before the high court, Kumar argued that he had already spent three and a half years in jail. The high court, taking note of the prolonged incarceration and slow pace of the trial, had granted him bail.
