Latest News about Sukesh Chandrasekhar
A Delhi court sentenced Sukesh Chandrasekhar to a total of eight years of rigorous imprisonment for impersonating a Supreme Court judge and trying to influence a bail proceeding in another criminal case. The sentences run consecutively under IPC Sections 170, 189 and 507, with the court rejecting his plea for leniency and concurrent terms. The court noted he showed no remorse and questioned the credibility of the complainant and trial court.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Harshita Mishra of Tis Hazari Courts convicted Sukesh Chandrasekhar for impersonating a sitting Supreme Court judge to pressure a judicial officer into granting him bail in a 2017 corruption case. The court found the judicial officer's testimony reliable and supported by call-detail records. He later moved the Delhi High Court to challenge the judgment and seek removal of adverse remarks.
