Discovery+ is here with another Indian original and this time, the topic is Indian wrestling. Wrestling has been a sport that brought world-renowned success and acclaim for our country. But what is concealed behind the shiny medals and glorious honor? We will find out through the docu-series Dangals of Crime - The Untold Truth About Indian Wrestling. It is now streaming on the platform.

The series premiered on the platform on Friday and a trailer was released to give us some insight into the offering. The 30-second clip begins with two-time Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar bringing glory to the nation. But soon, clips of him getting arrested are shown. Notably, Kumar was arrested in May last year for his alleged involvement in the murder of a fellow wrestler.
