Wrestler Sushil Kumar has been arrested by Delhi police. A team of the Special Cell, Special Commissioner of Police Neeraj Thakur reported news agency ANI about the arrest of the Olympic medalist.
The two-time Olympic medalist, who had been on the run for over a fortnight was allegedly linked with the murder of former international wrestler Sagar Dhankar.
