Chandrashekhar claimed that he had known the AAP leader since 2015.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar's Allegations
Chandrashekhar also alleged that he has been receiving threats and was under pressure from Minister Satyendar Jain and Sandeep Goel, the Director General of Prison, Delhi, on corruption and extortion.
According to PTI, Chandrashekhar claimed in his letter that he was visited by Jain in Tihar jail, where he was lodged after his arrest in 2017 in the 'two leaf symbol corruption case'.
"Thereafter in 2019 again I was visited by Satyendar Jain and his secretary and his close friend Sushil in jail, asking me to pay Rs 2 crore every month to him as protection money to live safely in jail, and to get even basic facilities," he alleged, as quoted by PTI.
"Jain asked me to pay Rs 1.50 crore to DG prison Sandeep Goel, who, he said, was a loyal associate of his. He forced me to pay and an amount of Rs 10 crore was extorted from me through constant pressure in a matter of two-three months,” he wrote in the letter.
Chandrashekhar claimed that the amounts were collected in Kolkata through Jain's associates.
"Hence a total amount of Rs 10 crore was paid to Satyendar Jain, and Rs 12.50 crore to DG prison Sandeep Goel," he stated, adding that he has already given this information to the Enforcement Directorate.
Former DG (Prisons) Sandeep Goel was transferred after the letter and IPS officer Sanjay Beniwal has been appointed as the new Director General (Prisons) of the Tihar Jail in Delhi.
Tihar Jail is run by the Department of Delhi Prisons under the Government of Delhi.
