Jacqueline Fernandez Knew Of Conman’s Cases, Enjoyed Gifts: Probe Agency

According to the Enforcement Directorate’s chargesheet, Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez was aware of conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s criminal past and “made up a bogus story” to get out of being investigated in a multi-million dollar money laundering case. According to the Enforcement Directorate’s chargesheet, which NDTV has access to, Jacqueline Fernandez’s assertion that she was unaware of Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s legal matters is untrue.

The chargesheet claims that in February 2021, “Jacqueline Fernandez was completely aware of the criminal past of Sukesh Chandrashekhar and also the knowledge that Leena Maria Paul is his wife.”

It reads, “She deliberately decided to ignore his criminal record and continued to engage in financial dealings with him.”

In February 2021, she learned about Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s identity and criminal past from her hairdresser Shaan.

According to the agency, Jacqueline Fernandez “ignored this truth despite continuing her relationship with Sukesh and using and enjoying the financial gains from Sukesh, which are nothing more than the profits of crime.”

Jacqueline Fernandez was designated as a suspect earlier this month by the Enforcement Directorate, which is looking into the money trail in a 200 crore extortion case against the conman.

According to the chargesheet, Jacqueline Fernandez acknowledged accepting presents from the conman included five watches, 20 pieces of jewellery, 65 pairs of shoes, 47 outfits, 32 purses, 4 Hermes bags, nine artworks, and a Versace dinnerware set.

According to the agency, Sukesh Chandrashekhar gave two cars to Jacqueline Fernandez’s parents in April 2021; she failed to mention this when questioned. She refused to acknowledge that Sukesh had given her a property in Welgana, Sri Lanka, until he had shown her with proof.

The actor, well-known for roles in “Kick,” “Bhoot Police,” and “Vikrant Rona,” is the lone defendant listed in the additional chargesheet. She has claimed that she was duped and that she is a victim of a broader criminal plot.

Sukesh Chandrashekhar was detained by the Delhi Police on suspicion of extorting money from Aditi Singh and Shivender Singh, two former promoters of the huge pharmaceutical company Ranbaxy, totaling over 215 crore.
