Conman Sukesh sentenced to 8 yrs in jail by Delhi court for impersonating SC judge
The court said that the sentences cannot be permitted to merge into one another or to operate merely concurrently
A Delhi court has sentenced Sukesh Chandrasekar to eight years in prison for impersonating a Supreme Court judge to influence a case hearing, according to prosecutors. Chief judicial magistrate Harshita Mishra delivered the sentence on August 29. The court stated that Chandrasekar showed no remorse for his "mendacious actions" and continued to "tread on the road to perdition."
He was given four years for criminal intimidation under Section 507 of the Indian Penal Code, two years for impersonation under Section 170, and two years for threatening a public servant under Section 189. The court emphasized the need for consecutive sentences due to the distinct nature of the offences and their cumulative impact on the administration of justice.
