2 faces of Sushil Kumar: An Olympic legend along with a Condemned murder accused

NEW DELHI: Sushil Kumar’s Wikipedia page, that maintains the legendary wrestler’s amazing travel from south east west Delhi’s Baprola village for his extraordinary podium finishes at the Olympics,” Asiad, CWG and World Championships, includes a recent upgrade. An upgrade which no sports enthusiast in the nation, actually’pehelwan’ Sushil himself, could have believed they’d ever see. It reads:”On 23 May 2021, ” he (read Sushil) was detained alleged involvement in the murder of a 23-year-old fellow wrestler Sagar Dhankar at Delhi.” People who knew him would frequently state that the grappler in a family history was an affable man – a obedient son and a husband, a husband and a doting dad, and a loyal friend who’d, sometimes, head from his off to assist his loyalists. However, a couple of other people that understood about Sushil’s alleged suspicious business transactions would beg to disagree. They feared that day for extended and Sushil’s brush with the legislation has not alarmed them. A former federal wrestling trainer, who’s worked closely together with Sushil because his Beijing Olympics times and played a crucial role throughout his return to contest at December 2017 following a hiatus of three decades, stated “For general people and to the parents of budding wrestlers and Chairman of different sports areas, Chhatrasal arena has ever been regarded as a sanctum sanctorum of athletics actions. “Aspiring athletes appeared in the arena as a sports establishment. But, there’s an unpleasant side to Chhatrasal too, where undesirable guests, not one of these sportspersons, could frequent the assumptions to fulfill Sushil along with his close associates to talk about his off-field small business actions. Only individuals belonging to Sushil’s inner group were a part of these talks,” explained the trainer, asking anonymity. It has been alleged that Sushil has firm interest in cost plaza sets in outside Delhi and adjoining Haryana and Uttar Pradesh boundaries, aside from conducting Ayurveda shops of a major Indian FMCG brand from the north west and south-west Delhi. Afterward his partners are into property, restoration of bad debts and land evacuations. Wrestling dropouts, that didn’t make any impact from the game, would supposedly be utilized to person these toll plazas. Delhi Police’s crime division has been linking Sushil along with his partners jailed dreaded gangster Neeraj Bawana and his enmity with fugitive Kala Jathedi has been the talk of this town. Golden stage of his athletic careerSushil’s life was not this complex, at least until 2014 Glasgow CWG at which he had procured his famous profession’s next CWG golden – the first being in the 2010 Delhi variant and the third in the 2018 Gold Coast Games. Right from completing on peak of the podium at the World Cadet Games at 1998, Sushil was always intended for huge things . Sushil has been 14 when he registered himself in the Chhatrasal scene. He coached under the advice of former wrestler and 1982 Delhi Asiad gold medallist, Mahabali Satpal, that afterwards became Sushil’s father-in-law. Sushil steadily grew up the success ladder, winning awards in the Commonwealth and Asian championships between 2003 and 2008. From now Doha Asian Games arrived in 2006, in which he procured a bronze at the freestyle 66kg, Sushil had recognized himself as among the nation’s top wrestlers. But, his breakthrough moment arrived from Beijing Games in 2008 when he uttered the ancient bronze, becoming the first Indian grappler within 56 years to win a single medal in wrestling following mythical K Steel Jadhav’s bronze in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. The amazing golden medal-finish in the 2010 World Championships at Moscow put him on a base none from the nation’s wrestling had occupied. 2 decades later, in the London Games, Sushil did you greater than Beijing, winning the silver medal – even though struggling with a stomach bug – to eventually become the only Indian to win two separate Olympic medals. He became the funniest poster boy of Indian sport. He inspired a generation of wrestlers to take up this game. Three of India’s Tokyo Olympics-bound wrestlers – Ravi Dahiya, Bajrang Punia and Deepak Punia – are Chhatrasal alumni. Sushil’s global success attracted him crores in government’s money awards and big-ticket real estate deals. He had been appointed as the administrative officer of the Northern Railway Sports Association at 2013 (on Tuesdayhis employer Railways suspended him because of his alleged participation in Dhankad’s murder instance ) and was posted on deputation from the Delhi administration’s education department since the OSD (Officer on Special Duty) in the Chhatrasal.

Authorities are claiming to have discovered more proof ofPriorities affected, wrestling shot backseatThis is if Sushil’s priorities started to change. He ventured into companies not entirely branded sterile and turned the scene into his small kingdom, where he’d train his sparring spouses beneath Georgian coach Vladimir Mestvirishvili. At exactly the identical time, he’d execute his business dealings during his trusted lieutenants. Following the gold in the Glasgow CWG, Sushil became mad about championships that led to him committing the Incheon Asiad a overlook. Sushil and Narsingh Yadav’s nasty face-off to get a spot at the Indian determined by the 2016 Rio Olympics, and also the next dope controversy, had embarrassingly performed on each national TV station. It divide the nation’s closely-knit wrestling community for lifetime, even equaling the very best of pals at Sushil and Yogeshwar Dutt against every other. Sushil found himself engaged in another blatant controversy when fellow wrestler Praveen Rana accused Sushil of instigating his fans to beat up him along with his senior brother Naveen through the selection trials to its Gold Coast CWG in the IGI arena here. Sushil was arrested for assault and criminal intimidation and an FIR was registered against him.

A year after, he competed in the World Championships at Nur Sultan, that had been a Tokyo Olympics qualifier, but endured a first-round defeat. Ever since that time, he’s not been into the wrestling world class. In his initial administrative stint (2016-2020) because the president of the School Games Federation of India (SGFI), Sushil did not demonstrate some interest in its own functioning and continued using his carefree attitude. Throughout his tenure, the SGFI copped a great deal of criticism because of his alleged mishandling of the passing of a city-based woman footballer, Nitisha Negi, in the Pacific School Games in Adelaide. The federation was afterwards derecognised because of its non-compliance of this federal sport code. Sushil’s most recent action of alleged indiscretion appears to get put an end for his finished two-decade long wrestling profession. His well-wishers see today is that the heart-breaking picture of Sushil’s face concealed behind a towel as a criminal, and the wrestler spending his first night at the lock-up yelling in guilt. Time will evaluate how sports enthusiasts will love to remember that their hero – a renowned sportsperson or a criminal offender.
