Delhi court convicts conman Sukesh for posing as SC judge, quantum of sentence today
A Delhi court convicted conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar for impersonating a Supreme Court judge, threatening a Special Judge to secure bail in a corruption case. Chief Judicial Magistrate Harshita Mishra emphasized the gravity of impersonating a Supreme Court judge or his secretary, labeling it an act of institutional defiance. The quantum of his sentence is set to be decided on August 27.
The court criticized the Delhi Police investigation as superficial and apathetic, highlighting the need for improved electronic evidence preservation and witness examination procedures. The court also directed the Commissioner of Police to review the role of Constable Manjeet in the case and re-examine how the accused obtained physical access to the police official's smartphone.
