Conman Sukesh Chandrashekar was dating actress Jacqueline Fernandez, his lawyer has claimed.
“Jacqueline and Sukesh were dating, these are my instructions, this is straight from the horse’s mouth,” said lawyer Anand Malik.
As for Nora Fatehi, Malik said: “Nora Fatehi claims to be a victim but she was gifted a BMW car…they (Fatehi and Fernandez) are the ultimate beneficiaries, this is why they are being called for questioning.”
Sukesh Chandrashekhar is accused of criminal conspiracy, cheating, and extortion of about Rs 200 crore from former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh’s wife, Aditi Singh.
Jacqueline has missed four ED summons related to the matter.
Nora Fatehi, however, has issued a statement on the matter on October 14.
“Nora Fatehi has been the victim around the case and being a witness, she is co-operating and helping the officers in the investigation. We would like to make it very clear that she has not been a part of any money laundering activity, she does not know or have any personal connection with the accused and has been called by the ED to strictly help with the investigation,” she said in the statement.
According to an India Today report, it is alleged that the money Sukesh Chandrashekhar earned through extortion was used to buy expensive gifts for the two actresses.
