Delhi High Court Seeks Police Reply on MCOCA Charges
Sukesh Chandrashekhar is accused of a big extortion case.
He asked the Delhi High Court to stop the police from making charges under a strict law called MCOCA.
The court said it would look at his request and will meet again on September 23.
Chandrashekhar says the court just accepted the police story without checking if all the rules for MCOCA were met.
The case also involves many other charges and is linked to a money‑laundering case with other people, including a famous actress.
The court is trying to decide if the police should keep charging him under MCOCA or not.
Delhi High Court issued notice to Delhi Police over Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s plea challenging MCOCA charge framing.
Chandrashekhar argues the trial court accepted the prosecution’s case without independently examining MCOCA elements.
Court scheduled next hearing for September 23.
Charges include multiple IPC sections, IT Act Section 66D, and several MCOCA provisions.
Case is linked to a Rs 200 crore extortion and money‑laundering proceedings involving other accused.
