State-level gold medalist wrestler arrested in Delhi for attempted murder
A two-time state-level wrestling champion was arrested on Wednesday in an attempt to murder case. The police arrested Summet at the Mukarba Chowk bus stand in Delhi while he was trying to flee. This arrest is connected to an incident that occurred on April 21, when Sumeet and four of his associates—Sagar, Nikhil, Dev, and Aniket—tried to murder one Vishnu. Sagar had allegedly opened fire on Vishnu, but the bullet missed the target.
