New Delhi: A court here on Friday extended Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody by three days in connection with a money laundering case.
He was produced before Delhi’s Patiala House Court, where he made statements about jailed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) minister Satyendra Jain.
Chandrashekhar, who faces multiple cases of cheating people, was remanded in ED custody for nine days by the sessions court on February 16. He was produced before additional sessions judge Shailendra Malik on Friday who agreed to extend his remand on the agency’s request which said Sukesh made some revelations during his interrogation.
Earlier, Sukesh had accused Jain of threats and mental harassment. He had also written to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, VK Saxena, about the matter. He claimed that the AAP leader had been pressurizing and harassing him in order to withdraw cases filed against them.
ED has alleged that Chandrashekhar contacted Japna Singh while impersonating the union law secretary to extort Rs 4 crore in exchange for ensuring the safety of her husband, who is lodged in Tihar jail. The agency filed a case based on a first information report (FIR) filed by the Delhi Police special cell in 2021.
Chandrashekhar, who is involved in at least 32 criminal cases in multiple states including Delhi, Maharashtra and Karnataka, accused jail officials of extorting money from him and stressed that they also released the video of an old prison raid.
