Yes, I met Sukesh: How TTV Dinakaran cracked before the Delhi police in EC bribery case

I am a high court judge and I have good influence with Election Commission of India officials. I can get you the AIADMK's two leaves symbol, if you cough up Rs 50 crore.

After three days of questioning, Sasikala Natarajan's nephew T T V Dinakaran has finally confessed to having met Sukesh Chandrashekar. The Delhi police is questioning Dinakaran in connection with the Election Commission bribery case in which he was alleged to have offered Rs 50 crore for the AIADMK's two leaves symbol.

Sukesh Chandrasekar and TTV Dinakaran

He was blatant in his denial for the first two days. However on day three he cracked and told the police that he had met Sukesh once. He told me he was a high court judge and hence I met him, Dinakaran also told the police.

There was a meeting that had been fixed. I went for that meeting and that is when I met Sukesh first. He told me he was a high court judge, Dinakaran also told the police.

Delhi police sources say that Sukesh had confessed to us immediately upon his arrest about his meeting with Dinakaran. However TTV continued to give us contradictory statements. For the first two days he was evasive and contradicted himself. However on day three after we continued to hand out evidence, he cracked and confessed to meeting Sukesh, the officer also said.

Call records:

Delhi police sources also say that the calls between Dinakaran and Sukesh were made on WhatsApp. The digital evidence that we have suggests that the two were in touch with each other. However for the police to retrieve these calls will be hard. We have sent out all digital evidence we have for forensic analysis and are awaiting the results, the officer further noted.

The police also say that Sukesh had received payment of Rs 10 crore. We managed to seize Rs 1.3 crore from him. The total deal that was struck amounted to Rs 50 crore, the police also say.

How Dinakaran was trapped:

I am a high court judge and I have good influence with Election Commission of India officials. I can get you the AIADMK's two leaves symbol, if you cough up Rs 50 crore. This was what Sukesh Chandrashekar, ace conman had to tell Sasikala's nephew T T V Dinakaran.

Sukesh realised that Dinakaran was desperate and he decided to fool him by making an offer he could not resist. Delhi police officials who have questioned Dinakaran for two days in a row tell OneIndia that Sukesh was sure that Dinakaran would bite the bait. Sukesh was very convincing and this helped him earn the trust of Dinakaran.
