Delhi Police has issued a lookout notice against Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar, who has been absconding since 4 May after a wrestler died in a brawl at Chhatrasal Stadium.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, North West told IANS, "A Look our notice has been issued against Kumar."

He said that several teams have been formed to trace out alleged persons including Kumar. He further said that police are probing the role of Kumar as allegations have been made against him.

Earlier, the police said they have a video footage in which Kumar and others can be seen assaulting wrestler Sagar Dhankad and his friends Sonu and Amit Kumar.

According to senior police officials, Kumar has been absconding after a 23-year-old ex-junior national champion Sagar Kumar was beaten to death during a brawl at Chhatrasal Stadium. Police registered a case of murder and multiple teams of Delhi Police are raiding areas in Haryana, Uttarakhand and Delhi-NCR.

Sagar, son of a Delhi Police constable, passed away in a clash between two groups on the premises of the Chhatrasal stadium situated in northwest Delhi on late Tuesday night on 4 May.

The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) is concerned that the good reputation built over the years with stupendous international performances, many of them given by Sushil himself, has been ruined.
