An incident of a brawl among wrestlers at Delhi’s Chhatrasal stadium was reported on May 4 in which some wrestlers were injured and they had to be admitted to a hospital. Sagar Dhankar, one of them, died during treatment.
Police had found that the fight took place over a flat owned by Kumar in Model Town in which the deceased wrestler had previously been living.
This had been corroborated in a video shot during the brawl in which Kumar is seen assaulting Dhankad.
According to the police, the deceased wrestler, 23-year-old Sagar Dhankad, used to earlier live in the flat in Model Town which is owned by Kumar. The two wrestlers had an ongoing dispute over the rent of the flat which snowballed into a fatal brawl after Dhankad abused Kumar.
