Nora Fatehi summoned to Delhi court in Sukesh Chandrashekhar extortion case

A Delhi court has summoned Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi to appear as a prosecution witness in a high-profile extortion case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The Rouse Avenue Court has directed Fatehi to appear on November 2.

Fatehi is listed as witness LW-3 in the third supplementary chargesheet filed by the Delhi Police. The case involves allegations that Chandrashekhar, while incarcerated in Rohini Jail, impersonated senior government officials to extort approximately Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Ranbaxy promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh, between 2020 and 2021. The extortion was allegedly carried out under the false promise of securing Singh's release from jail.

The investigation, conducted by the Delhi Police Economic Offences Wing, has led to charges under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). Fatehi was previously questioned by investigators regarding her alleged associations with Chandrashekhar and his wife, Leena Maria Paulose. During prior questioning, the actor reportedly stated that her interactions with Chandrashekhar were facilitated through his wife.
