He is the key accused in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case. Sukesh Chandrashekhar and his wife, actress Leena Maria Paul, were arrested by the ED under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) over the alleged extortion racket being run from jail.
A number of women Bollywood actors and models, including Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi, have been questioned in this 2021 case by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for their alleged links to Chandrashekhar.
From the age of 17, he started cheating people by imposting as senior government officers over calls. In 2007, even before he turned 18, he tried duping over 100 people on the pretext of getting their work done by the Bangalore Development Authority, by posing as a high-ranking bureaucrat. However, authorities succeeded in exposing him.
His first arrest was in 2007. However, he was so lured by the extortion “business” by then that the arrests did not deter him and he continued with his ways. "Chandrasekhar is the mastermind of this fraud. He has been part of the crime world since the age of 17. He has multiple FIRs against him...," the ED said about the Rs 200-crore extortion case.
