The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has booked Sukesh on charges of money laundering and committing fraud against the wife of ex-Religare promoter Malvinder Singh. He is also involved in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case against the wife of Shivinder Singh. Bollywood actors Nora Fatehi and Jacqueline Fernandes have been questioned multiple times in connection with this case. The Enforcement Directorate had on February 16 arrested Chandrashekhar in a money laundering case linked to deceiving former Religare promoter Malvinder Singh’s wife by posing as Union home and law secretaries. This is the third money laundering case in which the ED has arrested Chandrashekhar. The other two cases relate to Chandrashekar allegedly deceiving Aditi Singh, the wife of Malvinder Singh’s brother Shivinder Singh, of Rs 200 crore and to the purported bribing of Election Commission officials to get the AIADMK’s ‘two leaves symbol for the V K Sasikala faction.
