Additionally, it is claimed that Pinky Irani, the defendant, played a key role in disposing of the money that was demanded from the complainant and other sources.

Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez's statement was previously recorded by Delhi Police in court under Section 164 after she claimed she wanted to provide some crucial details in the $200,000 fraud case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.

In a charge sheet submitted in 2021, the Delhi Police Economic Offence Wing (EOW) named 14 defendants, including Conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, his wife Leena Maria Paul, and others. The Chargesheet was submitted in accordance with a number of IPC sections and the stipulations of the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA)

Leena, Sukesh, and others allegedly exploited Hawala networks and established Shell businesses to store the money gained from criminal activity.

In addition to continuing investigations against Chandrasekhar in other cases across the nation, the Delhi Police's EOW has filed an FIR against him for allegedly defrauding Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh, the spouses of former Ranbaxy promoters, of 200 crores.

Sukesh Chandrasekar, a prisoner in Rohini, is accused of extorting over 200 crores from the spouses of erstwhile Religare entrepreneurs Malvinder and Shivinder Singh, who are currently being held in Tihar prison, according to the prosecution.

According to investigations, the accused Sukesh Chandrasekar defrauded Malvinder's wife Japna Singh, and Shivinder's wife Aditi Singh out of numerous crores of rupees. Under the guise of an officer from the Union Law Ministry, the women claimed that they had paid the conman millions of rupees to seek bail for their husbands and ensure their safety.
