No dispute over Hanuman's property, say Olympians

Olympians Satpal and Sudesh Kumar, disciples of Guru Hanuman, have denied any dispute over the property of the Dronacharaya awardee, who died in a car crash on Monday.

They were reacting to reports in a section of the press that a dispute over Guru Hanuman's property had cropped up immediately after his death.

The two Olympians are among 22 grapplers who, in a press statement today, have denied the reports. They said the matter would be taken to the court if a denial was not issued.

The internationally acclaimed coach, who had put India on the wrestling map of the world, was travelling to Hardwar in a Maruti car with five others to take a holy dip in the Ganga, when a tyre burst and the vehicle crashed into a tree. Guru Hanuman was among the four killed in the accident.
