Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez's name has also surfaced in the money laundering case linked to conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, involving 200 crore rupees. Sukesh had claimed that Jacqueline, the actress from Housefull 5, was in a relationship with him.
Jacqueline On Sukesh: For the past few months, Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has been entangled in the 200 crore rupees money laundering case connected to conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Sukesh Chandrasekhar, currently in jail, has repeatedly claimed that Jacqueline is his girlfriend. However, Jacqueline has once again broken her silence on the whole matter, stating that she had no personal relationship with Sukesh and that she, too, was a victim of his conspiracy.
Jacqueline explicitly stated that Sukesh misled her and came close to her by portraying himself as a well-known businessman. Jacqueline says that she didn't realize who Sukesh was initially and what criminal activities he was involved in.
Sukesh Expressed Love Through Love Letters
Sukesh, who is in jail, has expressed his love for Jacqueline several times. Sometimes, he sends her letters on her birthday, and sometimes, he claims to give her yachts and expensive gifts. He wrote many love letters to Jacqueline from jail, calling himself her true lover. However, Jacqueline has dismissed Sukesh's 'love story' every time.
Jacqueline says that Sukesh tried to win her trust and that of her family by showering them with expensive gifts. According to the ED, Sukesh gave Jacqueline gifts worth crores of rupees, including four Persian cats, a horse worth 57 lakh rupees, and precious jewelry.
Jacqueline Objects to ED's Chargesheet
Jacqueline is trying to get the ED's chargesheet filed in this case quashed. She has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, saying that all the allegations against her are false and that the entire case is part of a conspiracy to implicate her. Jacqueline wrote in her petition that she has never participated in any activity like money laundering, nor has she played any role in Sukesh Chandrasekhar's crime.
Jacqueline said that Sukesh and a woman named Aditi Singh also fabricated a false story to implicate her. She appealed to the court to quash the FIR and chargesheet filed by the ED.
Decision in High Court Today
Today is considered a very important day for Jacqueline Fernandez because her petition is to be heard in the Delhi High Court. The court will decide whether any further action will be taken on the chargesheet filed by the ED. The entire Bollywood industry has its eyes on this case, as it will be a great relief for Jacqueline's career if she is acquitted.
What does Jacqueline say?
In a conversation with the media, Jacqueline said: There was no relationship of any kind between me and Sukesh. He misled me and tried to damage my image. I was never involved in any of his illegal activities. According to Jacqueline, when Sukesh presented himself as a wealthy businessman, she believed him, but by the time the truth came out, it was too late.
This entire matter has also created a stir in the Bollywood industry. Many people are taking Jacqueline's side, saying that she was also cheated, while some people are raising questions as to why Jacqueline didn't have any doubts even after receiving such expensive gifts.
