Man who promised TTV the AIADMK symbol was a 'son' of many chief ministers

In April 2011 he called himself the grandson of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. In 2008 he was roaming the streets of Bengaluru calling himself the son of former Karnataka Chief minister H D Kumaraswamy. In 2009 he moved around in Hyderabad introducing himself as the nephew of former Andhra Pradesh Chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. Sukesh Chandrasekar, the man that the Delhi police finally caught up with is a master conman.

With a dozen cases against him in Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Telangana, Sukesh has managed to con the high and mighty as easily as the less fortunate. The Cubbon park police from Bengaluru had arrested Sukesh from Chennai for conning people with the promise of swanky cars for cheap rates in 2011. The man who spent a few months in jail was given a bail after which he vanished. In 2013, the Delhi police missed him by the whisker but arrested his live-in partner, a television host and an actor.

Sukesh Chandrasekhar knew how to pull off a con. Apart from using the easiest trick in the book, dropping big names, Sukesh ensured that his lies were foolproof. Expensive clothes, special liking for watches and cars apart, Sukesh moved around in vehicles with beacons and emblems of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu state governments.

He was arrested by the Chennai police for duping a businessman posing as M K Azhagiri's son and M Karunanidhi's grandson. He duped a businessman in Bengaluru calling himself the son of H D Kumaraswamy while he told his landlord that he was a close friend of Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil Gowda. A class 10 dropout, Sukesh preyed on the vulnerability of his victims. To make his VVIP act look all real, Sukesh moved around with private security personnel dressed in safari suits and armed. In Hyderabad, he stayed in a post jubilee hills service apartment that cost him Rs 2.5 lakh per month. And now he has allegedly managed to convince TTV DInakaran to part with Rs 50 crore to get him a favourable verdict from the election commission of the AIADMK 'two leaves' symbol.
