Olympic wrestler Sushil Kumar denied bail in murder case

Olympic wrestler Sushil Kumar denied bail in murder case

A Delhi court on Tuesday (5) denied bail to Olympic medallist wrestler Sushil Kumar in the Chhatrasal Stadium murder case.

Additional Sessions Judge Shivaji Anand refused to grant relief to Kumar after hearing the arguments of both the prosecution and defense at length.


Kumar had sought relief from the court asserting that police built a false case against him and presented a "guilty image" of him.

The 38-year-old wrestler was arrested on May 23 and is lodged in jail since June 2, 2021.

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

Dhankar succumbed to the injuries later. According to the post-mortem report, he died due to the cerebral damage resulting from blunt object impact.

Steven Gerrard doesn't want a medal. He wants Man City stripped

Highlights

  • Steven Gerrard says Manchester City "have to be stripped" after being found guilty of 114 of 115 Premier League charges, but that players should not give medals back
  • Only three league titles (2012, 2014 and 2018) fall inside the 2009-2018 period the charges cover
  • Jamie Carragher wants City's titles taken off their list, Roy Keane says he would bin his medals, and Vincent Kompany says he is "really proud" of his City years
  • A BBC Sport analysis estimates rival clubs may have lost around £800m, with Norwich named at £43.8m

What Gerrard said

Gary Neville spotted one banner at Anfield on Sunday that stuck with him: "A generation of supporters have been cheated." City won 3-0 anyway, in a game that turned on Ryan Gravenberch's dismissal and was their first since the verdict.

Steven Gerrard, who captained the Liverpool side that finished two points behind City in 2014, went further on The Overlap. The club, he said, "have to be stripped." He was careful about the players, though. "I wouldn't want individual players to give stuff back, that wouldn't be right," he said. His target is the club and its owners. An example must be set, he argued, and everyone connected with City should think about the memories they may have "stolen" from everyone else.
