New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI) The Supreme Court has overturned the bail granted to Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar in relation to the murder of former junior national wrestling champion Sagar Dhankar. This decision was announced on Wednesday, in connection with the incident that took place at Chhatrasal Stadium in New Delhi.
A bench comprising justices Sanjay Karol and Prashant Kumar Mishra revoked the earlier March 4 ruling from the Delhi High Court that had allowed the wrestler's bail.
Sushil Kumar has been ordered to surrender within one week.
The allegations against Kumar and others involve the fatal beating of Dhankar in May 2021, reportedly due to a property dispute.
Along with Dhankar, two of his friends also sustained injuries during the assault.
The postmortem report revealed that Dhankar suffered cerebral damage caused by the impact of a blunt object.
