The Enforcement Directorate has arrested jailed fraudster Sukesh Chandrashekhar in yet another money laundering and extortion case.
The Federal Investigation Agency alleged that he cheated former Religare promoter Malvinder Singh Japna Singh of Rs 4 crore. Sukesh allegedly impersonated a government official and duped Singh while he was lodged in Tihar Jail. The ED sought a 14-day remand for Sukesh for cheating and extorting Rs 4 crore from Japna Singh. Courts in Delhi Patiala House granted 9 days remand.
Earlier, Sukesh was arrested on the complaint of Malvinder Singh's brother, Aditi Singh, wife of Shivinder Singh. In this case, he extorted Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh similarly.
Malvinder Singh is currently in jail in a case against him related to the alleged misappropriation of funds in Religare Finvest Limited (RFL).
