New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Tuesday opposed the anticipatory bail plea of Sushil Kumar, India’s double Olympic medallist in wrestling, in the district court in Rohini.
Kumar is facing allegations of involvement in murder of a former international wrestler, who died earlier this month.
Kumar in his plea filed by advocate Kumar Vaibhaw said: “unfounded, baseless, scurrilous and preposterous allegations have been made against the applicant maliciously with the only motive to humiliate and injure the reputation of the applicant.”
Citing the falsity in allegations, Kumar’s plea said that as per the PCR call the incident took place at around 1.19 hours on May 5, 2021 and the distance from the place of incident, Chhatarsal Stadium, and the police station PS Model Town is just one kilometre. However, the FIR has been registered after an unexplained delay of around 5-6 hours. “It further appears that that the entire delay in registration of the FIR is to falsely implicate the Applicant in the present matter”, the plea added.
