Jacqueline Fernandez was recently questioned in a money laundering case, not as accused, but as a WITNESS.
Enforcement Directorate is probing a 200 crore extortion racket run by the notorious conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
Jacqueline too has reportedly become a victim of Chandrasekhar’s cons through his partner Leena Paul. Leena has starred in Tamil and Telugu films as well as the Bollywood film, Madras Cafe.
Sukesh used to run this operation from prison allegedly! India Today report states that the fraudster had hidden his real identity, and had contacted Jacqueline by pretending to be some BIG personality.
He used to get in touch with the actress through caller ID spoofing from Tihar jail! “When Jacqueline started believing Sukesh, the conman also started sending her expensive flowers and chocolates as a gift,” ED source added.
The Enforcement Directorate discovered that Jacqueline was being conned after they examined Sukesh’s call records. It is being said that he also had another female celebrity as his target!
We hope Jacqueline gets out of this mess without any further hassle. On the work front, she is gearing up for Bhoot Police release – 17 September 2021 on Disney+ Hotstar.
