Patiala House court, after hearing submissions of both parties, granted 9-day remand of Sukesh.
According to ED, Sukesh posed as a government official and duped Singh while he was lodged in Tihar jail.
Sukesh was already in judicial custody in a Rs 200-crore scam, having been arrested on the basis of a complaint by Malvinder Singh’s brother Shivinder Singh’s wife Aditi Singh.
He allegedly extorted Rs 200 crore from Aditi in a similar fashion.
