The Delhi Rouse Avenue Court on Monday issued fresh summons to actor Nora Fatehi, directing her to appear on November 6 to record her evidence in the Rs 200-crore extortion case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.

The fresh summons came after the Delhi Police informed the court that Fatehi had been summoned but it was not aware whether she would appear.

Fatehi's counsel moved an application seeking exemption from her personal appearance. However, the court questioned the request, observing that she was a witness and was required to be present.

"She is a witness and was supposed to be here. Her conduct is not up to the mark. Don't take the court for granted," the court remarked.

The case against Chandrasekhar is being investigated by the Delhi Police Special Cell.

Earlier, the court had framed charges against Chandrasekhar, his wife Leena Paulose and others under Sections 170 (personating a public servant), 384 (punishment for extortion) and 386 (extortion by putting a person in fear of death or grievous hurt) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Charges were also framed under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), 1999, which provides special powers to investigate and prosecute organised crime syndicates.

The case is currently at the stage of recording prosecution evidence.

According to the police chargesheet, statements of several people, including Bollywood actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi, were recorded during the investigation.

The police have alleged that Chandrasekhar and his associates extorted money from Aditi Singh, wife of Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh, by posing as government officials and promising to secure her husband's release from jail.

According to the allegations, Chandrasekhar contacted Aditi Singh through a spoof call while lodged in Rohini Jail, impersonating a Central government official. He allegedly assured her that he could arrange bail for her husband, who was then in jail in connection with a money laundering case, and induced her to transfer money.
