SC cancels bail of Olympian wrestler Sushil Kumar
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday cancelled bail to Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar in the murder case of former junior national wrestling champion Sagar Dhankar at the Chhatrasal Stadium in the national capital. A bench of justices Sanjay Karol and Prashant Kumar Mishra set aside the March 4 order of the Delhi High Court granting bail to the wrestler. The wrestler has been asked to surrender within a week. The top court's order came on an appeal filed by Ashok Dhankar, father of Sagar Dhankar, challenging the order passed by the Delhi High Court granting bail to Kumar. Kumar and others are accused of fatally assaulting Sagar Dhankar in May 2021 over an alleged property dispute. Two of Sagar Dhankar's friends were also injured in the assault. According to the postmortem report, the victim suffered cerebral damage from the impact of a blunt object. Kumar was arrested in May 2021 and a sessions court had granted him a week's interim bail for his knee surgery on July 19, 2023. The trial court in October 2022 framed IPC charges, including murder, criminal conspiracy, intimidation and rioting with a deadly weapon against Kumar aside from the Arms Act, among others. The trial court noted that after being abducted and brought to the stadium, Sagar Dhankar was severely assaulted by several accused persons with baseball and hockey sticks.

Deaf-mute woman gang-raped in UP
Balrampur: A deaf and mute woman was allegedly kidnapped and gangraped in Uttar Pradesh while returning home . The incident reportedly took place a few meters from the homes of the district's top officials, where CCTV cameras were found to be off, reports NDTV. The police arrested two attackers within 24 hours of the incident, following an encounter. When the woman was on her way home in Balrampur district from her maternal uncle's home, she was kidnapped and taken to a deserted field. Two men took turns and raped the woman. Owing to her disability, the woman couldn't call for help. When the woman did not return home after an hour, the family began searching for her and found her in a suspicious condition in a field near a police post. The woman was rushed to the district women's hospital, where she is undergoing treatment. She is stable but in shock, doctors say. After the woman's brother informed the police about his sister and registered a complaint, the cops began an investigation and arrested the two attackers - Ankur Verma and Harshit Pandey - within 24 hours. 'Based on the evidence and CCTV footage, we identified the two men,' said Vikash Kumar, Superintendent of Police. 'The two accused suffered injuries during an encounter and are currently under treatment. They have confessed to the crime,' he said. Under Operation Trinetra in Uttar Pradesh, hundreds of CCTV cameras have been installed across districts to enhance surveillance and improve law and order. These CCTV cameras are meant to work as 'eyes' on the ground, monitoring public spaces. The woman's family alleges that the incident took place due to negligence. Three to four CCTV cameras in the region were found to be switched off, the family claimed. However, a camera installed near the Superintendent of Police's house caught the woman running and bikers chasing her.
