The reports suggest that Jacqueline Fernandez was so convinced and influenced by Sukesh Chandrasekhar that the actress was constantly in touch with him even after his crimes were exposed. “There is more trouble for Jacqueline Fernandez as she did not cut ties with Sukesh Chandrasekhar even after knowing his criminal antecedents. But Nora Fatehi did disconnect herself once she suspected that something is fishy,” said the Special Commissioner of Police – EOW, Ravinder Yadav while speaking to ANI.
Reacting to the ED chargesheet, Jacqueline had filed a plea before the Appellate Authority of PMLA wherein she ahd stated, “Just because she is (a) recipient of certain gifts which were forced on her for forming a connect, can’t be used to ignore the fact which the record otherwise clearly shows that she was conned by Sukesh Chandrasekhar. The approach of ED, unfortunately, seems to be highly mechanical and motivated, hence, blinded towards the fact that respondent (Jacqueline) has lost more than what can be measured in money. What is surprising is that like the respondent (Jacqueline), some other celebrities, notably Nora Fatehi were also conned by Chandrasekhar and Fatehi and other such celebrities who received gifts from the accused, are made witnesses whereas she is sought to be dragged as an accused. This clearly shows a malafide, motivated and biased approach on the part of investigation authority which cannot be ignored.”
