Nora Fatehi Grilled By Delhi Cops In Rs 200 Crore Extortion Case; Actress Denies Connection With Jacqueline Fernandez

The
Delhi
Police
EOW
(Economic
Offences
Wing)
questioned
actress
Nora
Fatehi
on
Friday
(September
2,
2022)
in
connection
with
Rs
200
Crore
extortion
case
linked
to
alleged
conman
Sukesh
Chandrashekhar.

Special
CP
(Crime
and
EoW)
Ravindra
Singh
Yadav
told
The
Indian
Express
that
they
have
summoned
four
to
five
people,
which
includes
Nora
Fatehi
and
Jacqueline
Fernandez.

As
per
a
report
in
ANI,
Nora
co-operated
with
the
officials
during
the
questioning.
She
was
grilled
for
around
7
hours
where
she
claimed
that
she
wasn’t
aware
of
Chadrashekhar’s
criminal
background.
She
mentioned
that
she
had
no
connection
with
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
and
that
both
of
them
were
speaking
to
Sukesh
separately.

Jacqueline’s
name
as
been
mentioned
as
an
accused
in
the
supplementary
chargesheet
filed
by
the
Enforcement
Directorate
(ED)
in
the
case.

During
the
probe
by
Delhi
Police
EOW,
Nora
was
asked
over
50
questions
regarding
what
gifts
she
received,
who
she
talked
to,
and
where
did
she
meet
them.

According
to
the
report
in
ANI,
the

Jhalak
Dikhhla
Jaa
10
judge
claimed
that
she
had
once
spoken
to
Chandrashekhar’s
wife
for
a
nail
art
function
after
which
she
often
called
her
up.
Speaking
about
the
gifts,
Nora
claimed
that
she
was
gifted
a
BMW
by
them,
among
other
things.
The
actress
told
the
cops
that
she
didn’t
not
know
of
Sukesh’s
criminal
background,
and
that
the
conman
often
had
conversations
with
her
manager
and
cousin,
but
very
few
with
her.

In
the
investigation
so
far,
the
Enforcement
Directorate,
in
its
supplementary
chargesheet
filed
against
Jacqueline,
claimed
that
she
admitted
to
them
that
Sukesh
Chandrashekar
gave
Rs
15
lakh
in
cash
to
writer
Advaita
Kala
for
a
script
she
had
written
for
the
actress.
This
contradicts
Jacqueline’s
earlier
statement
to
the
agency
wherein
she
had
said
that
she
gave
only
flowers
and
chocolates
to
Kala.
This
transaction
is
now
under
the
scanner.

As
per
a
report
in
Indian
Express,
the
chargesheet
mentioned
that
when
ED
confronted
Jacqueline
about
the
discrepancies
between
her
two
statements,
the
actress
said
that
it
was
because
of
the
fear
of
the
ED,
stress
and
reputation
of
her
family
members.

Previously,
Jacqueline’s
lawyer
Prashant
Patil
had
claimed
that
the
allegations
against
Jacqueline
by
ED
are
baseless
and
not
true.

Sukesh
Chandrashekhar,
the
prime
accused
in
this
Rs
200
Crore
extortion
case,
has
been
charged
with
duping
Aditi
Singh,
the
wife
of
former
Ranbaxy
owner
Shivinder
Singh
while
he
was
lodged
in
Tihar
jail.
