Sushil Kumar, India's double Olympic medallist in wrestling, has put in application for anticipatory bail in the district court in Rohini here on Tuesday. Kumar is facing allegations of involvement in murder of a former international wrestler, who died earlier this month.

According to a source, the hearing is expected to take place later in the day. Kumar's application for bail comes a day after Delhi Police announced a cash award of Rs one lakh for feedback and information on the celebrated wrestler who has been on the run since May 4 after his name was linked to the murder of wrestler Sagar Dhankar.
