Notably, Sushil Kumar is the prime accused in the murder case of wrestler Sagar Rana.


An incident of a brawl among wrestlers was reported on May 4 in which some wrestlers were injured and they had to be admitted to a hospital and one of them died during treatment.


On Sunday, Sushil was arrested from the Mundka area in the national capital along with his associate Ajay Bakkarwala, who was with him on a two-wheeler.


A team of Delhi Police Crime Branch took Sushil Kumar and his associate to three locations in Delhi -- Model Town, Shalimar Bagh, and Chhatrasal Stadium - which are connected with the incident.


According to Delhi Police sources, when the police was questioning the wrestler at these places, Sushil was seemingly nervous and was changing his statement repeatedly.


"The Crime Branch team is investigating the matter from every angle including who helped Sushil Kumar while he was absconding. Police took Kumar and Ajay to Chhatrasal Stadium where the fight took place. The second location was flat in Model Town from where Sushil and his companions brought Sagar Rana and Sonu to Chhatrasal Stadium. The third location was flat in Shalimar Bagh where Sushil used to live," a source told ANI.


They said the police questioned Kumar at these locations and tried to know who else was present with him during the course of the events on May 4 and May 5.


They said that police also tried to verify the video in which Sagar Rana could be seen being beaten by Kumar.
