Delhi High Court has turned down former wrestler Sushil Kumar's bail request in the murder case of wrestler Sagar Dhankar.
The judges said nothing new had come up since the Supreme Court canceled his bail, so their decision stands.
High Court cites trial interference risk
The Supreme Court earlier pulled back Kumar's bail because they were concerned he might influence witnesses: some even changed their stories when he was out.
Kumar's lawyer tried to argue that this wasn't an issue anymore since Ashok Dhankar, the father of the deceased and the complainant, didn't support the prosecution.
But the High Court wasn't convinced, saying it's not just about one witness: the risk of trial interference is bigger than that, and Kumar still holds a lot of influence.
