Earlier, Sushil had applied for an anticipatory bail, which the court denied. Furthermore, police have said that they have substantial evidence which proves that he could be guilty.
Later, a video regarding the same surfaced on social media, where he and one of his associates were seen beating up the deceased with a stick while some tried to intervene and stop him. Furthermore, police have also said that Sushil intentionally got the murder filmed to terrorise the wrestling world and warn them not to mess with him.
So far, the police have made ten arrests in connection to the case, while an eye witness has also been roped in. In the meantime, Sushil's lawyer had demanded extra security in the jail as the former's life was seemingly in danger, with gangster Kala Jatheri supposedly wanting to kill him owing to the entire case and some historical indifference between the two.
