Sukesh Chandrashekhar extortion case investigation

A Delhi court has summoned Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi to appear as a prosecution witness in an extortion case involving Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The investigation by the Delhi Police Economic Offences Wing 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 case has led to charges under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). Fatehi, who was previously questioned by investigators regarding her alleged associations with Chandrashekhar and his wife, Leena Maria Paulose, is listed as witness LW-3 in a supplementary chargesheet.

Following a hearing on November 2, 2026, at the Rouse Avenue Court, Fatehi’s legal team clarified that she is not an accused in the case but is appearing solely as a witness. Her lawyers filed an application seeking exemption from personal appearance due to short notice and professional commitments. Consequently, the court adjourned the matter and issued fresh summons for her appearance, scheduled for November 6, 2026.
