Jacqueline Fernandez has moved Delhi High Court in Rs 200 crore extortion case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. In the plea filed by the actress, she sought case against her by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to be dismissed. Jacqueline argued that all allegations against her are false and added that she has been cheated by not just Sukesh but also Aditi Singh, who is also under lens in the case.
“The petitioner is an innocent victim of Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s maliciously targeted attack. There is absolutely no indication that she had any involvement whatsoever in aiding him to launder his purportedly ill-gotten wealth. Hence she cannot be prosecuted… under the prevention of money laundering Act,” the petition read as quoted by NDTV.
For the unversed, Jacqueline Fernandez has been making headlines in connection to the extortion case for a long time now. The Bollywood actress has been accused of enjoying gifts from the alleged extortion of 200 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is currently lodged in Delhi’s Mandoli jail in connection to the case, was rumoured to be in a relationship with Jacqueline. While the has repeatedly denied any kind of romantic relationship with Sukesh, she is an accused in the case and has also been questioned by the Enforcement Directorate multiple times.
Sukesh often writes letters to Jacqueline from jail. In one of his recent letters, the alleged conman sought forgiveness from Jacqueline for all the troubles and said, “Just can’t wait to go down on my knees once again, ask you for forgiveness for all the troubles you went through, and then hold you tight and look into your eyes and once again propose you for life, in a better form than the one I did before last time.” In the same letter, he also congratulated the actress for receiving an award and addressed her as “my love” or “baby”.
