Recently, Conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar was found guilty of cheating people like Aditi Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez. Sukesh and his wife are being questioned by the Delhi Police and the ED.

Meanwhile, sources claim, Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who was lodged in Tihar jail, had also conned over Rs 200 crore from the wife of former Ranbaxy owner Shivinder Singh, Aditi Singh. Shivendra Singh, a former billionaire, was also in jail while his wife, Aditi Singh, looked for options to secure his bail.

It is said that Sukesh Chandrashekar posed as a representative of the Prime Minsiter’s Office, Home Minister’s office and made several calls to Aditi. He also used voice modulating software and replicated the numbers that belonged to these ministerial offices so that he doesn’t get caught while making those calls.

All call recordings, approximately 84 have been submitted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to a Delhi court.

It all started when Aditi Singh received a call in June 2020 from a woman saying Anoop Kumar, the Law Secretary, wanted to speak to her. The man proclaimed that he was calling her as per instructions given to him by the PMO.

These conversations went on for nine months where Sukesh Chandrashekar had promised to help her husband get out. Also, due to the pandemic, no one was asking him to meet them since people were scared of contracting COVID-19.

During these calls, Chandrashekhar forced Aditi to liquidate her assets so that there can be better help in the case of relieving her husband from jail.

By April 2021, Aditi had paid the conman almost over Rs 200 crores. ED, who received a tipoff about the racket of intimidation and extortion, asked Aditi Singh to file a complaint. The complaint was filed in August this year against Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
