Recently, Bhoot Police actress Jacqueline Fernandez hit the headlines for some troubling news.
She was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate for over 5 hours in a money laundering case!
However, TOI reports that ED sources said Jacqueline was NOT ACCUSED but was being questioned as a WITNESS.
She might even be a VICTIM in this case; which is about an alleged multi-crore extortion racket reportedly headed by one Sukesh Chandrashekar. ED sources told NDTV that Chandrashekar had allegedly duped Jacqueline, who reportedly became his target through his wife Leena Paul.
As per Livemint report, Sukesh is believed to be a known conman who’s charged with alleged criminal conspiracy, cheating and extortion of over ₹200 crores! He is also involved in a bribery matter with the Election Commission. Even though Chandrashekar was jailed, he continued conning people from prison.
“He (with a cellphone procured illegally in the prison) with the help of technology, made spoofed calls to dupe people as the numbers displayed on the called party’s phone number belonged to senior government officers.
While speaking (from the prison) to these persons, he claimed to be a government officer offering to help people for a price,” the ED official had said.
