The Delhi police crime branch on Wednesday recorded statements of eight eye-witnesses in the Chhatrasal Stadium murder case. According to sources, all 8 witnesses have testified against Sushil Kumar.

Meanwhile, Sushil has been cooperating in the investigation and told the crime branch where he had dumped the mobile phone which used in the crime. Sushil also told the crime branch important information related to the Chhatrasal incident.

Earlier, Delhi Police arrested four associates of Kumar from the Kanjhawala area of the national capital on Tuesday night in connection with the case and they were also taken on remand by the local police through the court on Wednesday.

Sushil was nabbed by police along with his associate Ajay Kumar after he was on the run for close to a fortnight. Delhi Police, after several unsuccessful attempts, arrested the wrestler from Mundka in West Delhi. Sushil was sent to 6-day police custody and the Delhi Police Crime Branch has been investigating the case.

Sushil and his associates have been accused of abducting Sagar from his house in Model Town to teach him a lesson for bad-mouthing him in front of other wrestlers, police had said. Sushil, according to the police, even told a guy named Prince to make a video of the incident and wanted it to go viral in his community so that nobody else dares to offend the two-time Olympic medalist ever again.

Sushil Kumar spent his birthday in a lockup on Wednesday after being remanded to six days of police custody in connection with the murder of a wrestler at the Chhatrasal Stadium in New Delhi. Police said he remained quiet throughout the day.
