Chandrashekar claimed he helped over 400 inmates in securing their bail bonds since his incarceration in 2017. Alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar, who has been accused of extorting over Rs 200 crore from the wives of former Fortis promoters, has written a letter to the DG Prisons offering to make a Rs 5 crore contribution for the welfare of undertrials on the occasion of his upcoming birthday.
Chandrashekar, through his lawyer Anant Malik, wrote the letter to the DG Prisons on March 22 seeking his permission to donate Rs 5,11,00,000 towards the welfare of jail inmates who are “not able to pay for their bail bonds, even after securing their bail or inmates who are lodged in jail for many years as undertrials and their families, mainly children, not having means to pay for their education and running of their house as the breadwinner is lodged in jail”. His birthday falls on March 25.
Chandrashekar claimed he helped over 400 inmates in securing their bail bonds since his incarceration in 2017.
“The judiciary is taking many efforts undoubtedly on this regards but helping the undertrials families who are extremely below the poverty line is not an initiative that is been looked onto due to which I have seen over these years, many families shattered even commit suicide due to their loved one breadwinners incarcerated for multiple years, hence I just want to take this small initiative and contribute this small bit from my personal earning funds,” Chandrashekar wrote.
Chandrashekar said that his “heart pains to see on daily basis how inmates who have no capacity to pay for their bail bonds and even cant pay or send money to their families”. He said he was doing this as it was the least he could do for his “brother inmates lodged in different jails of Delhi”.
