Amidst a flurry of allegations and counter-allegations, the saga involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has taken a dramatic turn. Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who is currently incarcerated, has made startling claims of threats from Kejriwal and alleged mistreatment in jail. According to a report by Times Now, Sukesh Chandrasekhar stated that he is being pressured to withdraw his complaint against the AAP chief, adding fuel to the already intense political fire.
Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s accusations didn’t stop there. He also named Satyendar Jain, who served as the Minister for Jail in the AAP government, and the new jail superintendent, alleging that he is being subjected to torture behind bars. These revelations have added a new layer of complexity to an already convoluted narrative.
The conman’s grievances against Satyendar Jain go back to the period between 2018 and 2021, during which Sukesh claims that Jain extorted a staggering ₹10 crore from him in various tranches. This alleged extortion was purportedly carried out either directly by Jain or through his associates under the guise of protection money. Sukesh alleged that these payments were made to ensure his comfort and safety while incarcerated in different Delhi jails, including Tihar, Rohini, and Mandoli.
The seriousness of these allegations prompted an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The request for prosecution sanction came through the Directorate of Vigilance GNCTD to the Lieutenant Governor, who holds the authority in such matters. The involvement of such high-profile figures and the gravity of the accusations have turned this case into a significant political and legal affair.
Apart from Satyendar Jain, Sukesh Chandrasekhar also implicated Sandeep Goel and one Mukesh Prasad in his allegations of extortion. He claimed that they had extorted a further ₹12.50 crore from him between 2019 and 2022, adding another layer of complexity to an already intricate web of corruption allegations.
However, Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s accusations didn’t end with allegations of corruption and extortion. In a bold and unexpected move, he addressed a letter to Arvind Kejriwal, accusing the Delhi Chief Minister of corruption and announcing his intention to contest against him in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
In his letter, Sukesh Chandrasekhar urged Kejriwal to welcome the CBI investigation into the matter rather than engaging in blame games. He challenged Kejriwal to undergo a narco test, emphasizing that the courts would ultimately decide the truth. This bold challenge underscored the intensity of the confrontation between Sukesh and Kejriwal.
Furthermore, Sukesh didn’t mince words in his letter to Kejriwal, alleging that the Delhi Chief Minister’s associates were involved in corruption and were currently behind bars. He warned Kejriwal that he might soon join them in what he referred to as the “Tihar Club,” insinuating that the law would catch up with the Chief Minister sooner rather than later.
The revelations made by Sukesh Chandrasekhar have sent shockwaves through the political landscape of Delhi and beyond. The allegations of threats, torture, corruption, and electoral confrontation have added a new dimension to an already contentious issue. As the investigation unfolds and the political drama escalates, all eyes will be on how the accused parties respond to these serious accusations and whether justice will be served in the end.
