MUMBAI: High-profile conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar was shifted to another jail in Tihar after he tried to bribe the jail staff. Sandeep Goel, DG (Tihar) said, “We received information that the inmate tried to bribe one of the staff of jail number four where he was lodged,” he said.
After the investigation, it has been revealed that Rs. 1.25 lakhs were allegedly transferred by him into the bank account of an inmate's brother. “He did not send the money directly to the source. Instead of that, he transferred the money to an inmate’s brother's account. We are probing the money trail. We are getting an inquiry conducted and have transferred three staff from the jail. Lodgment of inmate Sukesh has also been changed to another jail," the officer said.
In November 2021, the Delhi Police had told a court that Sukesh was using certain mobile phone applications to spoof the landline numbers of government authorities for extorting money from inside Rohini Jail. The allegations were made in a charge sheet filed against Chandrashekhar and his wife Leena Maria Paul in the case for allegedly duping the wife of the former Ranbaxy promoter Shivinder Singh of ₹ 200 crores.
