News channel News18 India has announced the launch of an original web series ‘FIR No. 208,’ which will premiere on February 3 at 9 p.m.

‘FIR No. 208,’ created and hosted by News18 India’s Managing Editor, Kishore Ajwani, depicts Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s web of deception and his crimes that were previously unknown to the public.

News18 India will reveal the inside story of Chandrashekhar, who defrauded his victims out of tens of crores of rupees before being apprehended in 2022.

This five-part web series, produced by News18 India, features real people and real locations in a tell-all narrative.

The show’s narrators include Delhi Police and Enforcement Directorate investigators, journalists who covered Chandrashekhar’s cases, his victims, employees of his companies, and others who had real encounters with the conman. The show delves into the mind of Chandrashekhar, who enticed Bollywood stars and looted crores and crores of rupees, among other things.

Speaking about News18 India’s foray into web series, Kishore Ajwani said, “This is the first-ever web series produced by an Indian news channel. Being a news-media company, we know inside details of Chandrashekhar’s escapades with the common man, Bollywood stars, and prominent industrialists and their wives. This helps us explore the murky depths of this con man’s mind and show our viewers the true story. This has been a project I have been associated with from the drawing board to hosting, through production, and I am sure that our viewers will love the format in which my team and I are delivering this story.”

‘FIR No. 208’ premieres on the News18 India YouTube channel on 3 February 2023 at 9 pm.
