CHANDIGARH:
Jitesh Kumar, the junior wrestler accused of spiking Narsingh's food with banned substances, has moved a local court in Sonepat for anticipatory bail. The application was moved by his father Surender Singh on Monday morning, just hours before the National
Anti Doping Agency (
NADA) cleared
Narsingh for the Rio Olympics.
Narsingh had approached the Haryana police with a complaint against the 17-year-old Delhi wrestler last week after which a case was registered at the Rai police station under sections 328 (causing hurt by means of poison with an intent to commit an offence) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.
The application has been moved in the court of additional district and sessions judge Dr
Sunita Grover. While pleading innocence, Surender has claimed that his son deserves the concession as he is a minor and had nothing to do with alleged doping incident.
