     "Nora Fatehi has been the victim around the case, and being a witness, she is co-operating and assisting the officers in the investigation. We want to make it obvious that she has not been a part of any money laundering activity.

    The probe agency has already filed the charge sheet in a Delhi court in a money laundering case. It was claimed that Chandrashekar extorted ₹ 200 crores from a businessman's wife while lodged in Tihar jail.





    In the investigation, Sukesh claimed that he approached Tihar jail staff with crores of rupees to continue his extortion racket from the jail. Five senior jail officials were held for helping Chandrasekhar to manage the extortion racket.
