Sushil, who bagged a bronze medal at 2008 Beijing Olympics and silver at 2012 London Games, said in his bail plea that the police tried to paint a “false and guilty image” of him and presented distorted information about the case to the media to establish connections between him and a few gangsters. But the judge wasn’t impressed.
