A non-bail-able FIR was lodged against the wrestler after which he and his associates continued to escape the arrest. It was not easy for the Delhi Police alone to find them as they were switching their locations and also changed SIM cards to avoid the trace.
Police took the help of four special cells, and a crime branch to search the convicts who were hiding in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and UP.
Even a reward worth one lakh was announced by Police to those giving any information about Sushil. After a long chase of 19 days, Delhi Police arrested him from the Mundka area along with 5 more convicts. The accused also plead for bail to the Delhi court denying his involvement in the case.
However, the court has dismissed the bail and asked Delhi Police to investigate the matter. Sushil and his associates will remain in police custody for 6 days. All the 6 are booked under sections 188, 269, 120-B, and IPC section 34.
