Star wrestler Sushil Kumar's application to Delhi government to extend his deputation by a year has been rejected and sent back to his parent department -- Northern Railway. Kumar, who was on deputation with Delhi government since 2015 had already got extension for 2020 and was trying to get it for 2021 too.

"Last week, Delhi government had sent Kumar's file to Northern Railway, mentioning that the state government had rejected his request for extension," a source in Northern Railway told IANS. "The state government also attached First Information Report (FIR) that linked Kumar's name with the murder of 23-year-old wrestler during a brawl on May 4 at Chhatrasal Stadium. Since he has been arrested by Delhi Police, he could lose also his job with Northern Railway also," the source added.
