The jail authorities didn't confirm whether Kumar would be paid for teaching wrestling skills or not. Jail sources said that the training being given by Kumar will be considered as 'wages' and the payment will be decided in near future. As of now, police have arrested 18 persons in connection with the Dhankar murder case and two charge sheets have been filed against Kumar and others by the Crime Branch in a Rohini court.
