In order to recreate their encounter with con artist Sukesh Chandrasekhar, Nikki Tamboli and actress Sofia Singh have been taken inside Delhi Tihar Jail. He is in jail because a case of rupee 200 extortion is being investigated. According to police reports, since Shekhar has been imprisoned, the facility has become a hub for his illegal activities, which he conducts with the assistance of jail staff. Nikki Tamboli and Sofia have been asked to enter the jail in this situation.
According to a senior police officer, the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police brought the actresses Nikki Tamboli and Sofia Singh to Central Jail Number One in Tihar on Saturday to "recreate" their encounters with the con artist as part of the ongoing investigation.
Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh, is among the prominent people Chandrashekhar is accused of cheating. According to officials, the EOW has so far interrogated Bollywood actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi, as well as former TV host Pinky Irani and stylist Leepakshi Ellawadi.
Many visitors, including celebrities in expensive cars, entered the jail during his stay in Tihar by claiming they were there to meet Chandrashekar, the officer claimed. According to officials, Tamboli has appeared in a few reality shows, while Singh has acted in Hindi and Telegu films.
The entire recreation of the meeting was also videotaped, according to the police. "Inside the prison, Chandrashekhar received numerous visitors. But we are only calling those who are pertinent to our inquiry. Chandrashekar is currently incarcerated in Mandoli Prison, "said the official.
Ravindra Yadav, a special commissioner of police for crime, said, "We have recreated the scene of the actresses' meeting with Chandrashekhar because we are conducting a thorough investigation into the case. We now have a clear understanding of the methods used to commit this fraud as a result. This will support our legal defense." Chandrashekar had a proper office inside the prison with a television, sofa, carpet, and other amenities, the investigation also uncovered. His office seemed to be there rather than a prison, another police officer said.
"Security at the jail was jeopardized. Once upon a time, when visitors said they were going to meet Sukesh, opulent cars would enter the prison. None of those who were going to meet Chandrashekar had their security checked. He had so much money that he was paying jail staff in crores. No one intervened because he had paid off jail staff, "Added he.
The majority of the time, according to the police, Chandrashekhar pretended to be a business tycoon from the south, a movie producer, or the owner of a television network while luring actors with promises of parts in "his upcoming movies." According to them, the investigation into the case is still ongoing and no one involved in it has received a clean bill of health.
"According to the investigation, Chandrashekhar also contacted other actors using the same method. The EOW team has already questioned Pinki Irani, who introduced the two actors to the alleged conman "the policeman stated.
He continued by saying that senior jail officials participated in Chandrashekhar's and his operations' illegal activities. "We are looking into the roles played by each of these jail employees who served Chandrasekhar. Six Tihar jail employees have already been detained under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act. Other jail personnel's duties are being scrutinized "the policeman stated.
