A Delhi court has summoned actor Nora Fatehi as a witness in the Rs 200 crore extortion case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. In an order dated 16 October, Additional Sessions Judge Gagandeep Singh directed that summons be issued to Fatehi, listed as LW-3 in the third supplementary chargesheet, to appear on 2 November. The case stems from a complaint by Aditi Singh, wife of former Fortis promoter Shivinder Singh, who alleges Chandrashekhar cheated her of Rs 200 crore by posing as a senior government official while lodged in Rohini Jail. Fatehi was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate in October 2021 and by the Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in September 2022. She has denied any wrongdoing, stating she was a victim in the matter.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All four outlets, Mathrubhumi, Deccan Herald, Times of India and News9, present the story as straight, neutral reporting with no discernible slant. Every outlet leads with the court summons, names the judge and the 2 November appearance date, and attributes the case facts to the complaint by Aditi Singh. The coverage is uniform wire-style copy, differing only in the order of background paragraphs. The key concrete point is the 2 November court date when Fatehi is to appear as witness.
