Indian ace wrestler Sushil Kumar arrest is one of the biggest news in Indian sports. Sushil and his accomplice Ajay Kumar were arrested on Sunday by the Delhi Police for the killing of 23-year-old junior wrestler Sagar Dhankar at the Chhatrasal Stadium during a brawl that occurred over an argument. After absconding for nearly twenty days the wrestler was arrested by Delhi Police from Mundka in West Delhi. Sushil is now in 6-day police custody as the Delhi Police Crime Branch has been investigating the case.

Kumar has been suspended from his post of senior commercial manager at Northern Railways with immediate effect after being arrested. Reports suggest that Sushil has confessed that he only wanted to teach a lesson to the deceased so that no one would mess with him in the future or consider him weak. He added that he had no intentions to murder Sagar Dhankar.
