Sukesh Chandrashekhar sends a Rs 100 cr legal notice to Chahatt Khanna

After Chahatt Khanna’s statement before the judicial magistrate under Section 164 CrPC, the counsel of Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who is facing a trial in a Rs 200 crore extortion case, has sent the actor a Rs 100 crore legal notice.

In his recent interview, Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s counsel shared that Chahat’s remarks caused “damage” to his client’s reputation. Sukesh’s lawyer, Anant Malik, has demanded Chahatt retract and remove her statement within seven days or face prosecution.

For the unversed, Chahatt Khanna testified before Patiala House Court on January 3 in connection with the extortion case of conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Earlier in an interview with BT, Chahatt had spoken about Sukesh and shared, “In May 2018 she got a call to attend a school event in Delhi as a judge. “I traveled to Delhi on May 18, 2018. At Mumbai airport, I met a woman named Angel Khan, who said she would accompany me to the event. When we landed in Delhi, we took a car to go to school. But after a while, we suddenly stopped and she said that we would have to change cars, as this one would not be allowed inside the school premises. We then moved to a grey Innova and within a few seconds, I realized we were outside the Tihar jail. When I asked her about this, she said we had to enter the school via the jail premises.”

She added, “He was dressed in a fancy shirt, had sprayed on a lot of perfume, and was wearing a gold chain. He introduced himself as the owner of a popular south Indian TV channel and the nephew of J Jayalalithaa. He said he had been arrested in an EVM-tampering case during elections but was being given VIP treatment in jail. He said he was a fan of mine and had watched my TV show, Bade Acche Lagte Hain, and wanted to meet me. I was frantic and told him, ‘Why would you call me here? I have left my six-month-old baby at home and have come here thinking it’s an event.’ Then, before I knew it, he went down on one knee and said he wanted to marry me. I shouted at him, saying, ‘I am married and I have two kids.’ But he said my husband was not the right man for me and that he would be a father to my kids. I got so anxious that I started crying.”
