Conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who is lodged in jail in connection with Rs 200 crore extortion case, in a fresh letter to Delhi Lieutenant Governor, has alleged that he is being “mentally harassed” and “threatened” by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and jailed AAP minister Satyendar Jain to withdraw his complaint against them.
Sukesh alleged that Jain called him and gave him 48 hours to withdraw the cases filed against the two and destroy the evidence.
He also wrote that he was being tortured by the jail officials and staffers. In his letter to the LG, Sukesh alleged, "I have been severely threatened and harassed by Kejriwal and Jain, through the Jail Administration and their loyal jail staff.
One month back when I was lodged in jail-14, Mandoli, and deputed his confidant staff such as Rajender, Superintendent and Jay Singh Deputy Superintendent to threaten me and to again start extorting me but I was very firm that I would not succumb to their threats and pressure."
Sukesh alleged that last week Jain had given him "a final opportunity" to accept their demands and to hand over all evidence against them in my possession to him. He said that the message was given by him through Jail-14 Superintendent Rajkumar on December 31.
He alleged that Jain had offered him a seat in the Karnataka assembly elections and sand mining contracts in Punjab, in exchange for withdrawing all statements given to the high-powered committee and media and asked him to hand over all the chats, screenshots and voice recordings against them.
"He (Jain) further warned that if I do not agree then, he will make sure I will be transferred from one jail to another in Mandoli and will be tortured and harassed in a way that I, myself would be driven to a stage of committing suicide or will face the same fate like Sushant Singh Rajput, and the case will be closed and further he gave me 48 hours' time to decide, or else prepare to face the music," Sukesh said in the letter through his advocate Anant Malik.
