Was forced to pay crores to AAP minister, conman Sukesh writes to Delhi L-G

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said the conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar's allegations against Satyendra Jain are completely fictitious and are planted to divert the nation's attention from the bridge collapse tragedy in Morbi.

Conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar is currently lodged at Delhi’s Mandoli jail. He was arrested for allegedly extorting money from high-profile people, including former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh’s wife Aditi. He was shifted from Tihar jail to Mandoli jail in Delhi in August this year after he made repeated requests for a transfer to another jail. He claimed he had received death threats from within the Tihar jail.

The visit of Amit Shah—seen as a polarising figure—and various steps taken by the administration, have deepened general mistrust in Kashmir and fomented political anger, something that tends to fuel the conditions that create impulses towards extremist acts.

Police said the accused had attempted to set ablaze the body of 57-year-old Hemant K. Lohia, who was promoted and appointed as Director General of prisons in the Union Territory in August.
