On Wednesday, The city police’s application for three days of incarceration for a wrestler and Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar was refused by a Delhi court ,saying the investigating agency had not shown any new evidence to justify the remand.
After being arrested on murder charges on World Wrestling Day (23 May), the two-time Olympic medalist was held in police custody for ten days.
During the session, Additional Public Prosecutor Atul Srivastava informed Metropolitan Magistrate Rashmi Gupta that the police had found one router and described the CCTV tape showing Sushil Kumar assaulting Sagar Rana, saying, “The video is the first clinching evidence we could collect.” However, according to APP Srivastava, the DRV record has yet to be recovered because the cell phone is still missing and the danda (stick) that Sushil Kumar is seen using in the CCTV tape.
Sushil’s lawyer, Pardeep Rana, retorted angrily in court, saying that Sushil is “not a hated criminal,” but rather “the victim of circumstances.” He claimed that Sushil Kumar made the nation proud not once, but twice, adding that he had never seen a case where the police were still looking for the accused’s clothes. Atul Srivastava, the Additional Public Prosecutor, stated it was cold-blooded murder.
While the prosecution stated that the purpose for Sushil’s custody extension was to continue the investigation, the prosecution also stated that items such as the weapon, clothes, and phones had yet to be retrieved.
