Jacqueline Fernandez to be grilled in Rs200 crore extortion case

Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez will be probed in Rs 200 cr extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.

Jacqueline Fernandez and Pinky Irani, who is an associate of Fernandez have been summoned to join the investigation and both are likely to be grilled together.

The EOW had earlier postponed her questioning on her request and had fixed the matter for today. Pinky Irani, an associate of Fernandez has also been summoned to join the investigation and both are likely to be grilled together.

Sources in the unit said that they have prepared a long list of questionnaires that will be asked of the actress. “We will ask her about her relationship with Chandrashekar and the gifts, and money which she received from the conman. We might confront Irani and Fernandez,” the source said.

There are possibilities that the questioning can go on for two or three days. The questions that will be asked to Irani and Fernandez have been prepared by the top brass officials to nail the lies of Chandrashekhar.

Chandrashekhar was arrested for allegedly cheating and extorting money from some high-profile people, including former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh`s wife Aditi Singh. Many Bollywood actors and models have been questioned by the Enforcement

In April last year, he was arrested in another money laundering case linked to the 2017 Election Commission bribery case, which allegedly involved a former AIADMK leader, among others.
