Sonu Mahal, who was present in the Chhatrasal Stadium during the time of the brawl, narrated the whole incident that took place on May 5 and led to the murder of a 23-year old wrestler Sagar Rana.

In an exclusive conversation with Aaj Tak, Sonu has revealed that Sushil beat him relentlessly on the night of May 5. Sonu further told that Sushil had beaten and driven away Virendra, a coach in the Chhatrasal Stadium, who then opened his own arena in Nangloi. Notably, Sagar started taking 50-60 wrestlers from Chhatrasal to Nagloi, which made Sushil furious.

Sonu revealed that Sushil was very angry on the night of 4-5 May and had taken five people along with Sagar and himself a hostage. Sushil had to release one of the boys after his wife called the police.
