The union ministry on Thursday proposed to the Supreme Court that if at all alleged ‘conman’ Sukesh Chandrashekhar and his wife are to be shifted outside the Tihar Jail, then they should be lodged in Mandoli prison which is being guarded by the paramilitary forces.
The government opposed the transfer of Chandrashekhar and his wife to any other jail outside Delhi on the alleged ground of a threat to their life and added that they will be protected by police personnel from Tamil Nadu Special Police Force and would be observed through CCTV cameras.
A vacation bench of Justices CT Ravi Kumar and Sudhanshu Dhulia asked senior advocate R Basant, appearing for Chandrashekhar, to file his objections to the Centre’s proposal to shift the accused to Mandoli Jail and posted the matter for further hearing on June 30.
