A Delhi court on Tuesday denied bail to Olympic medallist wrestler Sushil Kumar in the Chhatrasal Stadium murder case. Additional Sessions Judge Shivaji Anand refused to grant relief to Sushil after hearing the arguments of both the prosecution and defense at length.

Sushil had sought relief from the court asserting that police built a false case against him and presented a guilty image of him. The wrestler was arrested on May 23 and is in jail since June 2, 2021.
