The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to the Delhi Police and the family of deceased wrestler Sagar Dhankar on a bail plea filed by two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar, an accused in Dhankar’s murder case.
Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani listed the matter for hearing on May 4. Kumar’s earlier bail application was rejected by the trial court on February 6, 2026.
Kumar was arrested in May 2021 following an alleged assault at Chhatrasal Stadium, where Dhankar sustained fatal injuries during a late-night clash reportedly linked to a property dispute.
Though earlier granted bail by the High Court, the relief was set aside by the Supreme Court of India. His fresh plea argues that all public witnesses have now been examined.
