NEW DELHI - Two-time Indian Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar will stand trial for allegedly murdering a fellow wrestler during a stadium brawl last year, a lawyer said on Thursday.

The court said investigators were able to produce enough evidence to proceed against Kumar, who has said he is innocent and accused police of framing him. He has been charged with murder, kidnapping, rioting and using deadly weapons. Two of the accused are still on the run, according to prosecutors. He was seen in a video - which prosecutors say is authentic - assaulting the former junior wrestler, who died in hospital.
