Xtra Time Web Desk: Two times Olympic medal winner for the country Sushil Kumar has been issued a non bailable warrant by a Delhi Court on Saturday for his alleged connection with the murder of wrestler Sagar Rana.
Along with Sushil Kumar nine others have also been issued a non bailable warrant in connection with the murder of a 23-year-old former junior national wrestling champion, Sagar Rana. The Delhi Police had earlier issued a look-out-circular (LoC) against the wrestler.
It is learnt that the Delhi Police have also decided to announce a reward for Sushil Kumar’s arrest. The police said they moved an application before the court to issue the NBW against Kumar and they approved of their application. “After registering an FIR, we served notice to him, but he switched off his phone and has been untraceable since. We also conducted raids at his friends’ residences and now have decided to announce a reward for information leading to his arrest and a file has been placed before senior officers,” police sources said.
On May 4, Sagar Rana, who had competed in the 97-kg Greco-Roman category, was beaten to death during a brawl at the Chhatrasal Stadium parking area. After the incident, an FIR of murder, abduction and criminal conspiracy was registered against Kumar.
