Delhi Court dismisses plea by Sushil for special food in jail
Earlier, a Delhi court had dismissed a plea by the accused for special food in prison, including health supplements containing protein, Omega-3 capsules, jointment capsules, Pre-workout C4, Hyde, Multivitamin GNC and exercise bands as he aimed at continuing his wrestling career.
Notably on May 4, Sagar Dhankar, who had participated in the 97-kg Greco-Roman category, was beaten to death. It is alleged that Sushil and his associates assaulted Dhankar and two of his friends – Sonu Mahal and Amit Kumar- over a property dispute.
As per police officials, Dhankar and his friends were staying in a house linked to Kumar near the stadium in Model Town area and had been asked to vacate. This had led to clash on May 4 night and after Sushil came to know that Sagar had succumbed to his injuries, he came to meet his old associate and left Delhi.
