New Delhi: Conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar has written another letter to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and has challenged that if his complaint is proven false then he is “ready to be hanged” or else Kejriwal “should resign and retire from politics for good”, reported news agency ANI.
“Kejriwal Ji, if any of my raised issues to Delhi LG turn out to be wrong as you & your associates said, I'm ready to be hanged. But if the complaint is proven true, you'll resign & retire from politics for good,” his letter read.
Currently lodged at Tihar Jail, the conman has accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of forcing him to bring 20-30 individuals to contribute Rs 500 crore to the Aam Aadmi Party in return for seats and party postings.
In a series of letters to Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena, Chandrashekhar alleged that he was forced to pay Rs 10 crore protection money to AAP leader Satyendar Jain earlier when he held the portfolio of Jail. He also requested a CBI probe into the matter and permission to file an FIR.
"I request you to direct an urgent CBI investigation and allow me to file an FIR as the pressure is getting too much and any undue event may take place before the truth about AAP is exposed," he said in the letter.
A day earlier too, he wrote a letter to the LG and said: "After my arrest in 2017 for the two-leaf corruption case I was lodged in Tihar jail and was visited by Mr Satyender Jain who holds the Portfolio of Jail minister multiple times. Thereafter in 2019 again I was visited by Satyendar Jain along with his secretary and his close friend Mr Sushil in jail and asked me to pay Rs 2 crores every month as protection money to live safely in jail.”
The conman was arrested for allegedly defrauding and extorting several high-profile individuals, including Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh.
In April last year, he was arrested in another money laundering case linked to the 2017 Election Commission bribery case, which allegedly involved a former AIADMK leader among others.
