Sushil Kumar was held in connection with the murder of wrestler Sagar Dhankar, who was beaten to death during a clash.
After a selfie session of police personnel with two-time Olympic medallist and now murder-accused Sushil Kumar went viral on Friday, an inquiry has been initiated by Delhi Police.
On Friday morning, when Sushil Kumar was being taken from Mandoli jail to Tihar jail, the cops posted with the special cell and 3rd battalion of Delhi Armed police took pictures with the wrestler.
Sushil Kumar was held in connection with the murder of wrestler Sagar Dhankar, who was beaten to death during a clash between two groups in national capital’s Chhatrasal stadium.
Sandeep Goel, the DG of Tihar prison, said: “Sushil has been shifted from Mandoli jail to Tihar jail no 2.”
“Special security arrangements have been made and police personnel have been deployed near his barracks round the clock as a few days ago, gangster Lawrence Bishno, who is a close associate of Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, was also shifted to Tihar from Mandoli jail,” officials informed.
A team of the southern range of the special cell was asked to be present with police personnel of 3rd battalion keeping in mind a possible security threat to Sushil, sources said.
“After reaching Mandoli jail, they started clicking pictures with the accused. Police personnel of the 3rd battalion have been asked to share pictures of high-risk prisoners with their seniors so that they can monitor their activities. However, on Friday, apart from sharing the photos with their seniors, the cops on duty started sharing the pictures on their official WhatsApp groups, and with their relatives,” police sources said.
