Delhi Court Convicts Sukesh Chandrasekhar for Impersonating Supreme Court Judge to Obtain Bail
A Delhi court convicted conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar for impersonating a sitting Supreme Court judge and attempting to pressure a judicial officer to grant him bail in a 2017 corruption case. Using a police constable's phone, Chandrasekhar made calls posing as the judge and his secretary, threatening the officer with professional consequences if she did not comply. The court described the act as a serious breach of judicial integrity and found him guilty under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code. Sentencing is scheduled for August 27.
