#Sushil Dahiya

[trendingnews19]

New Delhi: Getting your picture on the dank walls of the wrestling hall in the capital’s Chhatrasal Stadium is an aspirational legacy. It’s an honour extended to Olympic medallists who have honed their skills here, which means Sushil Kumar and Ravi Dahiya are right up there, poring over the lithe, sweaty bodies going through the grind on the mat below. Aman Sehrawat had won bronze in men’s 57 kg freestyle wrestling at the Paris Olympics 2024, becoming India’s youngest Olympic medalist (PTI) When Aman Sehrawat returned to his alma mater after winning bronze at the Paris Olympics last August, he decided to delay the di rigueur. “I want a picture with the President of India,” he is learned to have said, indicating his desire for the Arjuna award. On Thursday, his wish came true with Aman becoming the only wrestler to get a national sports award in the 2024 iteration. A total of 32 para and able-bodied athletes will receive Arjuna for their performance over the past four years while another four will be bestowed with Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award. “It is a great feeling. As a kid, I sometimes dreamt of dressing up in a nice suit and get awarded by the president. Kaha se aye thy or kaha pahuch gaye,” he said. The 21-year-old has indeed come a long way from his native Birohar village in Haryana to become the present and future of Indian wrestling. His picture will, without doubt, soon go up in Chhatrasal, but the sharp spike in his status within these dusty, sweaty confines has been evident since the night he made the podium in Paris. His training sessions are watched by awestruck teenagers, he smiles often, speaks often, and moves around with a quiet swagger, casually acknowledging the boys who bow to him or request him for selfies. Back in 2021, he had watched Ravi grow into an overnight star in the very same hall, and had vowed to “do something to deserve that love.” “The magnitude of winning an Olympic medal truly hit home when I returned. So many functions, so much felicitation, going to Kaun Banega Crorepati...my life changed in an instant. People say I speak a lot more. Is it true? It may have something to do with the confidence that an Olympic medal brings,” he says, lounging in his plush ‘meeting room’ that his coach Lalit Kumar has carved within the stadium. The room has shelves that carry some of Aman’s trophies and upholstery that bear his name along with number 57, his weight category. And, of course, there are the ubiquitous Olympic rings -- on the cushions and on the windscreen of his new SUV. Aman took a three-month break post Paris, thanks to the ceaseless events that he had to attend. He resumed mat training in November and is back from a month-long stint at Japan’s Nippon Sports Science University, a trip he describes as an “eye opener.” The 21-year-old had some intense sessions with Hangzhou Asian Games bronze medallist Kaiki Yamaguchi and Paris gold medallist Rei Higuchi, and has returned mesmerised. “Their speed and techniques are amazing. I was beaten by a Japanese (Toshihiro Hasegawa) at the Asian Games and then again in Paris (Higuchi). So, I wanted to see their training methods,” he said. Mentored largely by Yamaguchi, Aman also had a rather revealing session with Higuchi who broke down their Paris semi-final that the Japanese had won 10-0 in a little over two minutes. “He told me I was opening my arms too much which allowed him to come in. Once in, he was able to attack my legs at will,” he said. Compared to strength and endurance, building speed requires significant tactical, technical, and training tweaks. While it’s common for Indian wrestlers to train for 4-6 rounds to enhance stamina, the Japanese, Aman noted, train in explosive 60-90 second rounds to get pacier. “Our methods are excellent for higher weights but the key to win in 57kg or 65 kg is speed. Aman is still better than a lot of Indians because he switched to mat (from mud wrestling) very early. His endurance is unbeatable; very rarely does he lose a bout that goes full six minutes. We are gradually making some changes to his training to improve his speed. We’ll introduce him to high-intensity interval training. There’s still time for LA,” Lalit said. For Aman, the countdown to LA has started. His room will soon be adorned with pictures of the gold medal for LA Games, like he did for Paris. “The expectations will increase manifold now. I want to continue in 57kg till LA and come home with a gold medal,” he said.

How a Timely Phone Call from Sushil Kumar Transformed Aman Sehrawat's Wrestling Journey

Aman Sehrawat, India's only male wrestler at the Paris Olympics, has experienced a transformative journey, thanks to a timely phone call from Sushil Kumar. Despite sharing a modest room with fellow wrestlers at Chhatrasal Stadium, Sehrawat's determination and spirit have taken a significant leap.

The 20-year-old wrestler has big shoes to fill, stepping in for Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Ravi Dahiya in the 57 kg category. After missing an Olympic quota at the Asian Qualifiers in Bishkek, Sehrawat was determined yet anxious. It was then that he received a motivational call from Sushil Kumar, a two-time Olympic medallist.

Sehrawat recalls Sushil's advice vividly: “He told me not to get too defensive and to aim to fight the full six minutes. He emphasized not being indecisive and sticking to my attacking style.” This advice was crucial in helping Sehrawat secure India’s first and only men’s Olympic quota at the World Qualifiers in Istanbul.

Despite his prowess in attack, Sehrawat acknowledges the need to strengthen his defense, a crucial aspect at the senior level. Coach Lalit Kumar ensures that Sehrawat focuses on his strengths while improving his defense to be well-rounded for the Paris Olympics.

Sehrawat's journey is marked by inspiration from Chhatrasal legends like Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt, and Ravi Dahiya. He aims to follow their footsteps and bring glory to his wrestling nursery at the Olympics.

Training at Chhatrasal since his early teens, Sehrawat’s resilience has been unwavering. The support from his coaches and the legacy of his predecessors motivate him daily. As he prepares for the Paris Olympics, Sehrawat's dream of an Olympic medal fuels his rigorous training, embodying the spirit of Chhatrasal.

Sushil Kumar – Charged in murder case, India’s Wrestling hero ‘falls’ bringing disrepute to his 'Chhatrasal breeding ground'

India's Wrestling hero, Sushil Kumar is being charged in murder case of junior champion Sagar Dhankhad within Chhatrasal Stadium. Though Kumar had denied involvement in the case, Delhi Police issued a non-bailable warrant against the wrestler. 

The only Indian in ‘Independent India’ to win two of the coveted Olympic medals (Bronze-2008, Silver-2012) in individual events; the most decorated wrestler India has ever produced: India’s only world champion in wrestling (2010) – these are just a few of the numerous accolades that can be chalked up to the incredible Sushil Kumar. He has been a shining light for Sports in India, especially at the Olympic Games, where the country has tasted limited success. Therefore it came as a massive shock to the people of the entire country when this reserved and diminutive grappler, was named as the prime suspect in the murder of 23-year old, former junior national Wrestling champion Sagar Dhankhad, within the parking lot of the Chhatrasal Stadium in Delhi. 

The Incident

On May 4, 2021, a violent altercation between two Wrestling groups at the Chhatrasal Stadium, ended in a shootout. Several of the people involved, needing to be rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, Dhankad succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. According to police reports, a few of the other individuals who were involved in the shooting were - Ajay, Prince Dalal, Sonu, Sagar, and Amit. 

As an aftermath of this shooting spree, Sushil Kumar had an FIR of Murder (Section 302), Abduction (Section 365), and Criminal Conspiracy (120-B) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Model Town Police Station. A Delhi court issued non-bailable warrants for the arrests of Kumar and nine others. This came after the Delhi Police had already issued a “Look-Out-Circular”, or LOC, against him. On May 5, the day after the incident, Kumar made a statement that neither he nor any of his wrestlers were involved in any of the events that transpired, the previous day. He has been absconding ever since May 6. 

The Delhi Police had to return empty-handed when they raided his house in an attempt to nab the world champion wrestler. On May 17, the Delhi Police announced that they will award INR 1,00,000 to anyone who can provide credible information, which leads to the arrest of Sushil Kumar. PTI reported that Kumar had already made an approach to the Delhi Rohini court, looking for protection from arrest. He had claimed that there was bias in the probe against him and that none of the injuries sustained by the victim could be attributed to him. 

The Public Prosecutor, however, stated that the police had uncovered electronic evidence that incriminates Kumar and thus requested that his petition should be dismissed. The prosecutor, Atul Srivastava, went on further to claim that the champion wrestler is a ��flight risk’. The defense attorney, on the other hand, argued that there was no necessity for custodial interrogation since as all the recoveries, that included vehicle(s), weapon(s), etc. had been made by the police. Kumar’s anticipatory bail plea was however completely rejected by the Rohini court, which had Additional sessions judge, Jagdish Kumar, presiding over it (May 18). 

Sushil Kumar- Rise to Fame

Also called Sushil Pehelwan by those close to him, Kumar (son of a DTC bus conductor) hails from the village of Baprola, in Najafgarh. He took up the sport after being inspired by his cousin Sandeep, who also used to be a wrestler. Sandeep gave up on his dreams so that Sushil could pursue his, as their family could only garner enough funds to support one wrestler in the family. 

A young Sushil Kumar came to the Chhatrasal Stadium at the tender age of 14 and it was here that he met famous former wrestler Satpal Singh and became his pupil. Sushil Kumar first came into prominence in 1998, after he won the World Cadet Games in Poland. It was his bronze medal win that turned the then ‘almost unknown’ grappler into a household name, overnight. The fame and popularity of the Chhatrasal Stadium kept on increasing largely, if not only, because of Kumar, and by 2012 the Stadium had become India’s premier wrestling centre. 

Chhatrasal Stadium- Wrestlers' Breeding Ground

In the 2012 London Olympics, apart from Kumar who bagged a silver medal, his childhood friend and fellow Chhatrasal trainee Yogeshwar Dutt also brought home an Olympic bronze medal. Amit Dahiya, another trainee from Chhatrasal became the youngest Indian to compete at the Olympics at 18 years old. The Chhatrasal Stadium has been the breeding ground for several other talented wrestlers like - Bajrang Punia (a Tokyo medal favorite), Ravi Dahiya, and Deepak Punia, who will all compete in the Tokyo Olympics. Kumar’s life became even more intertwined with the stadium when he married Satpal Singh’s daughter, Savi Kumar in 2011. In the eyes of many, he did so purely out of respect for his teacher and the couple has two children. 

The controversial Kumar

Presently, one of the administrators of the Chhatrapal Stadium, Sushil Kumar’s problems began back in the fag end of 2012, when he had a public fallout with Yogeshwar Dutt. Following the incident, Dutt left to form his own training centre and was later joined by a senior coach from Chhatrasal, who had alleged that Kumar had assaulted him. In fact, reports surfaced about several coaches having fallouts with the former World Champion. 

The situation worsened when in 2016 he got involved in a dispute, regarding the representation of India at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, with the National Wrestling Federation. Maharashtra wrestler Narsingh Yadav had won a quota for India, by winning the bronze medal at the 2015 World Championships. Kumar, also training for Rio at the time, wanted a selection trial, owing to his impeccable record. The Wrestling Federation of India, however, refused to do so. He then moved his plea to the Delhi High Court, who also dismissed it. In an incredible turn of events, Narsingh Yadav later tested positive for anabolic steroids, before the Olympics. He alleged that during a national camp held in Sonpeta, his food had been tampered with, by a young wrestler from Chhatrasal. This turned into an extremely long-drawn fight, which even got the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) involved. Unfortunately for Yadav, in 2019, the CBI rejected his sabotage theory. 

Kumar has also had an extremely ill-tempered bout in 2017 when a group of individuals assaulted his opponents, Parveen Rana, and Rana’s brother, after the national selection trials. Rana alleged that all of the assaulters were Kumar’s men. The two of them had to seek immediate medical attention at a hospital. An FIR was registered against Kumar and his men.

All of these incidents have definitely dealt a mighty blow to Kumar, but none so much as being the prime suspect in a murder case. The charges are so severe that there are already talks of him being stripped of the prestigious Khel Ratna, Arjuna, and Padma Shri Awards. Delhi Police are combing New Delhi and surrounding areas in search of the grappler who has managed to evade police detection until now. Importantly though, it must be remembered that Sushil Kumar’s involvement in the awful incident that took a young man’s life, is yet to be proven in a court of law. Hence, as of yet, he is still innocent until proven guilty. It can however be stated with certainty that the once highly revered, former World Champion wrestler’s reputation, has been tarnished forever.
