Delhi court extends Sukesh Chandrashekhar's ED custody

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Friday extended by three days the ED custody of Sukesh Chandrashekhar in a money laundering case related to alleged extortion of around Rs 4 crore from prominent entrepreneur Malvinder Singh's wife Japna M Singh. The judge extended the custody of the alleged conman after he was produced before court on expiry of his nine-day ED custody.
The court passed the order on an application filed by the Enforcement Directorate which said it needed to interrogate him to track the money trail.
The anti-money laundering probe agency also got 5 days' police remand of co-accused Deepak Ramdani. Sukesh Chandrashekhar was arrested following registration of an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), the ED's version of an FIR, for allegedly duping Malvinder Singh's Wife Japna Singh of Rs 3.5 crore in order to secure bail for her husband arrested in a criminal case.
According to the complaint, Chandrashekhar had called Japna M Singh multiple times while impersonating as senior government officials and extorted money from her with the promise of facilitating her husband's release on bail. TNN
