Jacqueline Fernandez seeks to postpone questioning in extortion case

Jacqueline Fernandez, who had been summoned in connection with the Rs 200 crore extortion case against ‘conman’ Sukesh Chandrashekhar, has sought to postpone her questioning. Jacqueline Fernandez has requested the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police to postpone her questioning on Monday, pointing out that she has some pre-scheduled shoots, the police said.

Bollywood Actor Jacqueline had been summoned in connection with the Rs 200 crore extortion case filed against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and this is the second time that Jacqueline has requested the investigation team to postpone it citing prior commitments, officers said. Sukesh had allegedly extorted Rs 200 crore from the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh.

A senior officer said Jacqueline has sent an email and requested them to allow her to be present before the officers at another time as she has some pre-scheduled shoots. “We will issue a fresh summons to Jacqueline in the coming days, asking her to join the probe,” the officer said.

Earlier Jacqueline named Nora Fatehi in response to ED, Norah Fatehi was also conned by main accused Sukesh Chandrashekhar in the Rs 200 crore extortion case.

ED, in its supplementary charge sheet, claimed Jacqueline admitted that Sukesh gave Rs 15 lakh in cash to writer Advaita Kala for a script she had written for the actor. This contradicts Jacqueline’s earlier statement to the investigating agency that she gave only chocolates and flowers to Kala. According to the charge sheet, Kala, an award-winning screenwriter, and novelist told the ED that she was approached by Jacqueline in 2021 to write a script for a web series being produced by her.

The investigation conducted so far has revealed that the accused, Jacqueline Fernendez, is knowingly directly and indirectly involved in the process and activity connected with the proceeds of crime and acquired, possessed and used part proceeds of crime by way of receiving valuable gifts and huge amounts for herself and her family members in India and abroad and thereby committed an offence of money laundering under section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 which is punishable under section 4 of the Prevention of Monev Laundering Act, 2002

Jacqueline names Nora Fatehi in response to ED

Nora Fatehi made witness whereas she's is an accused, Jacqueline alleges ED

Days after being named by the Enforcement Directorate as an accused in a multi-crore money laundering case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez has now filed her reply to the central agency. 

In her response, the actor said that despite cooperating with the investigative agencies, she was not being considered a ‘victim’ of the case. 

Fernandez called herself a victim of the modus operandi adopted by Sukesh and alleged that the case built against her is baseless. “She is a victim of the modus operandi adopted by the main accused Mr. Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Taking the entire prosecution case to be true for the sake of arguments, even then, no case is made out against the present Respondent under the scheme of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act or any law in force. This is a case of malafide prosecution,” read a part of her response. 

Jacqueline Fernandez names Nora Fatehi

Jacqueline, in her reply, also added that in the present case, at best, the allegation against her is that she is the “Recipient of the Gifts”. The record and the statement by the authority itself clearly show that she was coerced, conned, and forced into receiving the said gift. People other than her who received such gifts are made “witnesses” in the case, she said while naming actor Nora Fatehi.

Fernandez also stated in her reply that her FDs have no connection to Chandrasekhar and were created even before the conman ‘existed’. She stated that the FDs attached vide the impugned order, had no nexus with a crime nor were the Fixed Deposits created by using the alleged proceeds of crime.  “The actor claimed that deposits are from the actor`s own legitimate sources of income and much before in time from even knowing that the main accused Chandrashekhar even existed in this world,” stated the Enforcement Directorate.

The charge sheet, filed by the ED before Additional Sessions Judge Praveen Singh on Wednesday, names Fernandez as an accused for the first time in the case. Jacqueline Fernandez has been summoned by ED several times in the matter. ED`s earlier charge sheet did not mention her name as an accused but mentioned the detail of the statement recorded by Bollywood actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi in the matter.

According to ED’s earlier charge sheet, Bollywood actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi was examined and stated that the actors got top models of BMW cars, the most expensive gifts from the accused Sukesh.  ED charge sheet clearly stated that “during the investigation, statements of Jacqueline Fernandez were recorded on 30.08.2021 and 20.10.2021 Jacqueline Fernandez stated she received gifts viz – 3 designer bags from Gucci, Chanel, 2 Gucci outfits for gym wear. A pair of Louis Vuitton shoes, 2 pairs of diamond earrings and a bracelet of multi-colored stones, and 2 Hermes bracelets. She also received a Mini Cooper car which she returned.

Jacqueline Fernandez has communicated to Delhi Police via email that she won’t be able to join the investigation due to prior commitments.

Statements of Nora Fatehi were recorded under section 50 of PMLA, 2002 on 13.09.2021 & 14.10.2021 wherein she stated that she got a booking for a charity event and during the event, she was gifted a Gucci Bag and one iPhone by Leena Paulose. (Wife of Chandrashekhar) Noora further stated that Leena Paulose had called her husband and put the phone on the speaker where he thanked her and said that they were her fans. She then announced that they were going to gift her a brand new BMW car as a token of love and generosity.

Previously, the ED had attached Jacqueline’s assets worth Rs 7 crore. The luxury gifts received by Jacqueline include diamond earrings, bracelets, Birkin bags, Louis Vuitton shoes, and a mini cooper car among other things.

The country and its people have always given me tremendous love and respect. This includes my friends from the media, from whom I have learned a lot. I’m currently going through a rough patch but I’m sure that my friends and fans will see me through it. It is with this trust that I would request my media friends to not circulate images of a nature that intrude on my privacy and personal space. You would not do this to your own loved ones, am sure you would not do this to me either. Hoping that justice and good sense prevail. Thank you.
