Sushil Kumar's bail plea rejected after challenge to lower court's decision

Former wrestling champion Sushil Kumar filed a petition in the Delhi High Court challenging the Rohini Court's February decision to turn down his regular bail request. The high court examined the merits of the challenge and ultimately dismissed the application.

The petition argued that Kumar's health condition, including a recent knee surgery, warranted a temporary release. However, the bench emphasized that the gravity of the charges—murder, criminal conspiracy, and threats—required his continued detention. The court also referenced the special cell's findings that linked Kumar directly to the planning and execution of the attack on Sagar Dhanakhad.

With the bail plea denied, Kumar will remain in judicial custody until the trial concludes. The ruling highlights the judiciary's cautious approach in high-profile criminal cases involving public figures.
