New Delhi: Actor Jacqueline Fernandez on Wednesday appeared before the Economic Offences Wing of Delhi Police in connection with the Rs 200 crore extortion case allegedly involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
According to ANI, the Delhi Police prepared a long list of questions for Jacqueline in the case. The questions were based on her relationship with Sukesh and the gifts she got from him.
Besides Jacqueline, the economic offences wing had also summoned Pinky Irani to join the investigation. Irani has apparently helped Sukesh to contact Jacqueline Fernandez as she knew both of them.
Jacqueline has been communicated that her investigation might get stretched for a couple of days or back to back and hence told to plan her stay in Delhi accordingly.
Earlier, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) named Jacqueline in their chargesheet in the money laundering case that involves Sukesh. The enforcement agency chargesheet stated that Jacqueline knew about Sukesh’s involvement in criminal cases but she chose to overlook his criminal past and got indulged in financial transactions with him.
ED had registered a money laundering case in the alleged scam over the FIR registered by the Delhi Police. The agency had earlier stated that Fernandez’s statements were recorded on August 30 and October 20, 2021, where she admitted to having received gifts from Chandrashekar. It also said that Fernandez had used proceeds of crime and valuable gifts bought using it for herself and her family members in India as well as abroad which amounts to an offence of money laundering under section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar, a native of Bengaluru in Karnataka, is currently lodged in a Delhi jail and faces over 10 criminal cases registered against him. Chandrashekhar has been accused of extorting Rs 200 crore when he was lodged in Rohini jail, from Aditi Singh, the wife of jailed former Ranbaxy owner Shivinder Singh, while posing as an official from the union law ministry and the PMO, on the pretext of getting her husband out on bail.
