Jacqueline Fernandes has dropped her complaint against suspected con guy Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Many stories arose on Wednesday alleging that the Bollywood actress has withdrawn her plea, accusing Sukesh of using the media to destroy her reputation. She also accused him of harassment and asked the court to file a complaint against him.
Jacqueline Fernandez filed an extortion complaint against the accused conman, Sukesh Chandrashekhar, at the Delhi High Court in December 2023 for Rs 200 crore. In her appeal, the actress requested that the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) prosecution against her be withdrawn. Jacqueline claimed that all the allegations against her were false, and that Sukesh had deceived her.
“The petitioner was the innocent victim of Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s maliciously aimed attack. There is no evidence that she helped him launder his alleged ill-gotten cash. The plea stated that she cannot be charged under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, as reported by NDTV.
Jacqueline Fernandez has been making headlines in connection with the extortion case for a long time. She is an accused in the case, and the Enforcement Directorate has questioned her multiple times. Jacqueline has been accused of getting gifts in exchange for allegedly extorting Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh.
Sukesh, who is currently detained in Delhi’s Mandoli jail in connection with the incident, was alleged to be in a relationship with Jacqueline. However, the actress has always denied any romantic contact with him.
Earlier this week, Jacqueline wrote another letter to the Delhi Special Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch), accusing Sukesh of harassment.
“A man identifying himself as Sukesh is an accused, sitting behind bars in Mandoli Jail, and threatening her with intimidating tactics in open public domain,” a part of her letter read.
“These actions do not merely impinge upon my individual rights; they strike at the heart of our justice system. The principle of witness protection, which is fundamental to the administration of justice, has been compromised, undermining the credibility and efficacy of our legal institutions. It is imperative that all communication channels available to the accused be scrutinised and stringent measures be implemented to prevent further abuse,” it added.
