SC Seeks Delhi Govt’s Response on Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s Jail Transfer Plea

The Supreme Court has sought a response from the Delhi government on a plea filed by alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who is seeking a direction to be transferred from Mandoli jail to any other prison except those in Punjab and Delhi.

A bench of Justices Bela Trivedi and Pankaj Mithal issued a notice to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.

“Having regard to the allegations made in the writ petition, let the notice be issued to the respondent, returnable on July 19, 2024,” the bench stated.

CBI Probe against Satyendar Jain?

Senior advocate Paramjeet Singh Patwalia, representing Chandrasekhar, submitted that the petitioner has been placed under surveillance with two cameras to pressure him into withdrawing his complaints. The lawyer informed the court that Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has recommended a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe against former minister Satyendra Jain based on Chandrasekhar’s complaint.

“Please, send me anywhere in the country, except Punjab and Delhi where the Aam Aadmi Party is not there,” Patwalia submitted.

The apex court then issued a notice in the matter.

Plea Dismissed Last Year

Last year, the top court dismissed a plea by Chandrasekhar and his wife seeking a transfer from Mandoli jail to a prison outside Delhi over security concerns, stating the writ petition was “without substance” and there was “no justification to grant indulgence” to the petitioners.

Chandrasekhar had accused Jain, who is incarcerated in connection with a money laundering case, of extorting Rs 10 crore in “protection money” from him. He also claimed to have contributed about Rs 50 crore to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

Chandrasekhar was earlier relocated from Tihar jail to Mandoli jail following his approach to the court, citing threats to his life. The alleged conman and his wife are currently incarcerated on charges of money laundering and defrauding numerous individuals.
