Nora Fatehi Fails To Appear In Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s Rs 200 Cr Extortion Case, Next Hearing On Nov 6

The hearing in the Rs 200 crore extortion case linked to Sukesh Chandrashekhar was adjourned at the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi after Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi failed to appear on November 2, despite being directed to testify as a prosecution witness.

Nora’s lawyer sought exemption from her appearance, prompting the court to express displeasure and caution that it could not be taken lightly. “She is a witness and was supposed to be here; her conduct is not up to the mark, don’t take the court for granted.”

The court subsequently issued a fresh summons directing the actress to appear on November 6, when the matter will be heard next. Nora has been listed as prosecution witness LW-3 in the third supplementary chargesheet filed in the case.

Sukesh Chandrashekhar Rs 200 Crore Extortion Case

The case pertains to allegations that Sukesh ran an extortion racket from Delhi’s Rohini Jail, impersonating senior government officials to extort around Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh between 2020 and 2021. Aditi is the wife of Shivinder Mohan Singh, former promoter of pharmaceutical company Ranbaxy.

Chandrashekhar allegedly promised to secure her husband’s release from custody in exchange for money. He apparently used call-spoofing technology to make his calls appear as though they originated from government offices, lending credibility to his claims. The alleged operation continued for over a year.

The Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) investigated the matter and filed a chargesheet against the accused under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
