Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court summons actor Nora Fatehi to appear as a prosecution witness in the extortion case linked to conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, with the matter adjourned to November 6 after she does not appear. Several outlets report the court’s displeasure at her absence and that fresh summons are issued.
Across coverage, Fatehi’s legal team emphasises that she is neither an accused nor alleged to have committed an offence, saying she was summoned only as a witness. Outlets also note that her advocates sought exemption on short notice, citing professional commitments, and asked the court to adjourn the hearing.
The reporting consistently frames the underlying case as one in which Chandrasekhar, while in custody, allegedly impersonates officials and extorts money from Aditi Singh in connection with securing release of her husband. Some outlets add background on the investigation by the Economic Offences Wing and the role of charges under MCOCA, while others focus more tightly on the court appearance, summons, and the exchange in court over her non-attendance and the date for her next appearance.
