CBI charge-sheets ‘conman’ Sukesh Chandrasekhar in extortion case
The Central Bureau of Investigation has charge-sheeted the alleged high-profile conman, Sukesh Chandrasekhar, and an associate on the charges of extorting a huge amount of money from individuals who were accused in criminal cases by posing as senior government officials and promising them help in the investigation. Sukesh, who is currently in judicial custody, was accused of committing the fraud while he was on judicial parole in 2019 by using spoofing techniques to impersonate senior officials of the Central law enforcement agencies. Posing as a senior officer of the Central government, Sukesh made phone calls to various persons facing criminal cases investigated by different agencies. After the Income Tax Department raided the premises of different organisations and individuals, including an organisation having a major temple at Varadaiahpalem in Andhra Pradesh in October 2019, Sukesh allegedly contacted one of the persons handling the operations of the organisation, posing as the Law Secretary, Government of India, and demanded ₹7.5 crore.
