Sukesh reveals WhatsApp chat

HYDERABAD: Alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who is currently lodged in Tihar Jail over a money laundering case, claimed to be a middleman between Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLC K. Kavitha by handing over Rs 15 crore from the former to the latter in the Delhi excise policy case.

In a letter, he referenced a WhatsApp chat he had with Kavitha over handing over ‘15 kg ghee’, which, he claimed, was code for ‘Rs 15 crore’. He said he was given the cash by Aam Aadmi Party chief Kejriwal and Satyendar Jain.

He claimed that the payment was part of a series of kickbacks for Delhi liquor licences, which was laundered and transferred through many countries as part of hawala transactions made in favour of the AAP.

“Arvind Kejriwal was particular that no transaction was to be carried out from Delhi. Hence, all cash transactions during Covid period were being carried out from Hyderabad for Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Admi Party,” Chandrasekhar claimed in the letter.

He said that the term ‘JJI’ was used as a code to reference Kavitha’s guest house in Jubilee Hills, where the transactions usually took place. He also said that ‘party 11Q’ meant TRS office, ‘package’ meant ‘cash’, ‘sister’ meant ‘Kavitha’ and ‘ghee’ meant ‘crores of rupees’.
