Photo of Jacqueline Fernandez with Sukesh Chandrasekhar has surfaced weeks after the actor denied dating the conman, who is also the prime accused in a Rs 200 crore extortion case.
Last month, Jacqueline Fernandez was questioned for seven hours by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the Rs 200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and his wife, actor Leena Maria Paul.
In its charge sheet, the Delhi Police has accused Sukesh Chandrashekhar and 13 others of duping the wife of the former promoter of Ranbaxy to the tune of Rs 200 crore. Officials believe Chandrashekhar extorted Rs 200 crore from the complainant by claiming that he would facilitate her husband’s release from prison.
Responding to the claims, a spokesperson for actor Jacqueline Fernandez had issued a statement saying, “Jacqueline Fernandez is being called to testify as a witness by the ED. She has duly recorded her statements and in future will also be completely co-operating with the agency in the investigations.”
“Jacqueline also categorically denies alleged slanderous statements made about her relationship with the involved couple,” the statement added.
