Social media has been flooded with videos of conman Sukesh breaking down in cell as cops seize his expensive Gucci sandals, branded jeans and cash.
A surprise raid was conducted inside the cell of Sukesh Chandrasekhar based on inputs that the conman was living a “luxurious” life inside the Mandoli Jail in Delhi, according to the Prisons Department. Jail officials said Wednesday they recovered cash, jeans worth Rs 80,000, and Gucci footwear worth lakhs from Sukesh’s cell.
Leaked CCTV footage from the jail shows jail officials conducting a raid in his cell and Sukesh weeping as they seize his expensive belongings. In the video, five to seven personnel are seen entering Sukesh’s cell as he is resting. They start opening the bags and conducting the raid as Sukesh is seen standing in a corner. In another video, he is seen weeping.
Originally lodged in the high-security Tihar jail, Sukesh Chandrashekhar and his wife Leena Paul were shifted to Mandoli Jail in August 2022 after he moved the Supreme Court seeking his transfer to a prison outside Delhi, citing a threat to his life.
Sukesh has been jailed on charges of alleged money laundering and extorting several people. While in Tihar jail, he had accused top jail officials of running an extortion racket and accepting crores in bribes from him.
