The Supreme Court will hear the petition.

New Delhi :

The Supreme Court will hear the petition for transfer of Mahathug Sukesh Chandrashekhar and his wife from Tihar Jail.

In the last hearing, the Supreme Court had asked Sukesh for a list of those who had given Rs 12.5 crore to the jail authorities for the same.

Sukesh has also been asked to give a list of those jail officers to whom this money was given. 

Orders were given to give the list in ten days.

After this Sukesh had given the list in the sealed cover.

During the hearing, Justice U U Lalit had said that we will go to the root of the matter.

Sukesh continued to run a crime syndicate from the jail itself.

He gave this 12.5 crore rupees as a bribe or it was illegal recovery from him in jail.

It is important to find out.

The Center had asked the jailer of Tihar Jail to take care of Sukesh's security. 

The Supreme Court expressed surprise that the jail staff continued to work on Sukesh's payroll in this racket of fraud and it took more than two years for the investigating agency to detect this racket.

In the court, Sukesh's lawyer said that on the contrary, more than Rs 12.5 crore was recovered from his client Sukesh.

The court directly asked that you were in jail along with your wife.

Who and how cheated you of such a huge amount?

Sukesh's lawyer said that people used to come at the time of meeting, I used to send money through them.

In the court, Justice U U Lalit asked if you were running your criminal syndicate on the pretext of meeting?

The court asked Sukesh's lawyer to inform the court the names of the people through whom the deal was done and payments worth crores of rupees were given. 

Hearing has been heard on the petition to transfer Mahathug Sukesh Chandrashekhar and his wife from Tihar Jail to another jail.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had said that it would consider the court's earlier order in the matter in which the court had asked the government to give a list of jails in which these two can be shifted. 

The ED has opposed the transfer of Sukesh and his wife from Tihar Jail.

ED has said that he had gone to the office for recovery from Tihar.

Now when everything is closed, he wants to start this racket from another jail.

The ED has filed an application in the SC calling him a "master thug".

It is said that he cheated by posing as a public official including people holding constitutional posts.

Sukesh used to run a syndicate in Tihar Jail and if transferred to another jail, he would repeat the same crime.

However, the court took on record the government's argument that it would not be right to transfer him from Tihar to any other jail.

Along with this, the court took on record the consent of the government to send him to Mandoli jail in Delhi. 


During the hearing of the case, the Center told the Supreme Court that Sukesh Chandrashekhar had also called some Supreme Court judges from Tihar Jail to give a verdict in favor of Sukesh Chandrashekhar by becoming a senior judge.

However, it is not clear whether this phone call was made by Sukesh Chandrashekhar or someone else in his name.
