He has made a request through his advocate and submitted his application on July 2. He has sought a TV set to keep in touch with the current happenings outside the jail and to get updates about wrestling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This comes after a Delhi court dismissed\u00a0a plea by Kumar seeking special food in prison, including health supplements containing protein, Omega-3 capsules, jointment capsules, pre-workout C4, hyde, multivitamin GNC, and exercise bands, as he wanted to continue his career in wrestling.<\/p>\n<div class=\"share-social\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"comments\">\n<div class=\"icons\">\n<div class=\"append_social_share\">\n<div class=\"m-story-meta__share-actions hide_utm_paytm\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"custom-caption\"><span class=\"ie-custom-caption\">Two-time Olympic gold medallist Sushil Kumar and 11 others have been arrested in the Chhatrasal murder case.

Sushil Kumar and his associates allegedly assaulted Dhankar and two of his friends \u2014 Sonu Mahal and Amit Kumar \u2014 over a property dispute at the Chhatrasal stadium on the intervening night of May 4 and 5.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to police, Dhankhar and his friends were staying in a house linked to Kumar near the stadium in the Model Town area and had been asked to vacate recently.
