Delhi police questioned Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi in connection with money laundering case linked to jailed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Earlier, actress Jacqueline Fernandez had come under the scanner in the same case.
According to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) charge sheet, Fernandez “cooked up a false story” to wriggle out of the ongoing money laundering probe against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and she “knowingly” involved herself to enjoy the proceeds of crime generated through criminal acts.
Additional Sessions Judge Praveen Singh took cognizance of the second supplementary charge sheet, and asked Fernandez to appear before the court on September 26. The charge sheet also claimed Fernandez consciously chose to overlook Chandrashekhar’s criminal past and continued to indulge in financial transactions with him and both were working in collusion.
The 37-year-old actor, who was summoned by the ED several times in connection with its probe, has been named as an accused for the first time in the supplementary charge sheet. The ED’s earlier charge sheet and a supplementary charge sheet did not mention the Sri Lankan actor as an accused.
The documents have also mentioned the details of the statements recorded by actor Nora Fatehi and a few female models. The ED claimed its probe has found that Fernandez was “enjoying valuables, jewellery and costly gifts provided by Chandrashekhar despite knowing about his criminal antecedents.” Chandrashekhar is currently lodged in a Delhi jail.
