The Delhi Police is brining in a psychological expert as the hope to make further progress with their investigations around the decorated Olympian Sushil Kumar in the Chhatrasal murder case.
The two-time Olympic medallist is scared of the psychological experts questions and is avoiding questioning, India Today reported.
The veteran wrestler and his aide had been on the run for close to three weeks after the brawl at the stadium which led to the death of junior national champion Sagar Dhankhar.
Sushil along with his aide Ajay Kumar had been arrested on 23 May with the police also rounding up four of their associates related to the incident on 4 May on Wednesday (25 May).
DCP (Rohini district) Pranav Tayal had said the arrested men have been identified as Bhupender (38), Mohit Aasoda (22), Gulab (24) and Manjeet (29). All the four are active members of the Kala Asauda – Neeraj Bawana gang, police had said after the arrests.
The clash at the stadium between Sushil and Sagar is understood to have sparked off due to a property dispute.
Sushil, who turned 38 on Wednesday, was remanded to police custody for 6 days after being arrested.
