Extortion Case: SC Rejects Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s Wife Leena Paulose’s Plea

The Supreme Court has dismissed alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s wife Leena Paulose’s plea, in a Rs 200 crore extortion case, seeking an expedited hearing of her bail plea before the Delhi High Court.

A vacation bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kumar and Augustine George Masih stated that it could not arrange the board of the high court to ensure a speedy hearing of her bail application.

“Special Leave Petition is dismissed. Pending applications shall also stand dismissed,” the bench stated.

Paulose had approached the apex court against a May 20 order of the high court, which had issued notice on her bail plea and scheduled it for hearing on July 30, 2024.

The Delhi Police filed an FIR against Sukesh Chandrasekhar for allegedly duping the wives of former Ranbaxy promoters, Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh of Rs 200 crore.
There are several other ongoing investigations against him across the country.
Chandrasekhar and Paulose, who are also facing charges in a money laundering case filed by the ED, were arrested by Delhi Police in an extortion case involving the wives of the two Singh brothers and others.
The police have also used the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in this case.
Police claimed that Paulose, Chandrasekhar, and other co-accused used hawala routes and established shell companies to hide the proceeds of crime.
