Sukesh’s claim of giving Rs 60 crore to AAP is the latest of his attack on the ruling party in Delhi. Earlier, in an explosive letter to Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, he claimed that he paid Rs 10 crore to incarcerated Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) minister Satyendar Jain as ’protection money’ and that he was harassed and threatened in jail.
This was followed by several follow-up letters where he claimed that AAP workers would "teach him a serious lesson". His allegations also extended to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia. The conman accused the AAP leaders of swindling money meant for the welfare of children’s education.
In the most recent letter, Sukesh said he would expose Satyendar Jain and Kejriwal and added that no one pressurised him to write these letters and he wrote them on his own will.
