New Delhi [India], October 23 (ANI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) suspects that Conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar has bribed crores to senior officials of Tihar jail.
"During the interrogation, Chandrasekhar has revealed that he has given bribes in crores to the Rohini and Tihar jail officials," said the sources.
Conman Sukesh has been in jail since 2017 in connection with an election commission bribery case and came on the radar after Delhi Police registered a case for extorting Rs 200 crore from Ranbaxy promoter Shivinder Singh's wife Aditi Singh. The jail term is to end for Sukesh on Saturday.
Sukesh has revealed to ED, "he got extra favours with jail officials in exchange for a bribe".
"The six officials were suspended after the inquiry," the sources informed.
He also informed that a black colour BMW car was gifted to actress Nora Fatehi in which ED recorded her statement accordingly.
Sukesh and his wife Leena Maria Paul claimed that "they had gifted Nora Fatehi a BMW car last year."
ED suspects that the car was purchased using the money which was extorted by Sukesh from the wife of Shivinder Singh.
However, in the interrogation, Fatehi has denied the allegation made by Sukesh and her spokesperson issued a statement a day after she appeared in ED.
"Nora Fatehi has been the victim around the case and being a witness, she is co-operating and helping the officers in the investigation. We would like to make it very clear that she has not been a part of any money laundering activity," said a statement issued on behalf of Nora Fatehi.
"She does not know or have any personal connection with the accused and has been called by the ED to strictly help with the investigation," it added.
According to the sources, Conman also revealed the details about the gift that has been given to the Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez. ED is trying to verify the claims by Sukesh and his wife.
Earlier in the month, ED issued a third summons to Fernandez as she skipped the questioning in connection with its ongoing probe in Rs 200 crore money laundering case linked to conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. (ANI)

TMC's jibe at Centre amid LPG crisis due to West Asia conflict

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage. The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
