Sukesh Chandrasekhar Offers Rs 15 Crore, Construction of 300 Houses For Wayanad Landslide Relief

New Delhi: Alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar has sent a letter to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, offering a contribution of Rs 15 crore to the Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund in response to the recent landslides in Wayanad district.

Chandrasekhar, who is currently incarcerated in Mandoli jail, expressed his deep distress over the situation in Kerala and his desire to support those affected. His advocate, Anant Malik, confirmed the authenticity of the letter.

In the letter, Chandrasekhar requested that his donation of Rs 15 crore be accepted for the relief fund and also pledged additional support to build 300 houses for the displaced individuals.

He emphasized that the funds come from "legitimate business accounts" and urged the state government to use the money for the welfare and rehabilitation of those impacted by the disaster.

The Kerala government has yet to respond to Chandrasekhar's offer. He and his wife are currently in jail facing charges of money laundering and fraud.
