India’s Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar arrested in murder case

Kumar, who won medals for India in 2012, 2016, was on the run since he was named in the murder of a fellow wrestler.

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.
