Since the arrest of the alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case, many updates have been doing rounds on his deep connection with Bollywood celebrities.

Recently, Bollywood actresses Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi were questioned by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police, which has brought some starling information to the forefront.

According to Special commissioner of police, EOW, Ravinder Yadav, Noora Fatehi's brother-in-law had got a BMW from Chandrashekhar in 2021. Though both Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi don't have a direct connection with the case, EOW has been investigating the source of various gifts, which could have been given to these actresses.


Special Commissioner of Police (EOW) Ravindra Yadav also told news agency ANI that Sukesh Chandrashekhar would try to impress Bollywood actresses as he had acquired a massive wealth of properties through extortion.

To get more details on the case, Delhi Police sleuths had earlier called three persons for questioning: Nora Fatehi, her brother-in-law Mehboob aka Bobby Khan and Pinky Irani.

Irani is a person who approached Fatehi for gifts on the direction of Chandrashekhar. She was called to participate in an event at the studio in Chennai owned by Chandrashekar's wife Lena Maria, last year, reported by ANI.

In the event, Fatehi was offered a BMW car and a participation fee. Fatehi, during questioning, said that she refused to take that gift, however, she told that they should give it to her brother-in-law Mehboob alias Bobby.

Nora claimed in front of the EOW that she was a "victim of the conspiracy and not a conspirator". She also showed the screenshots of her chats with Sukesh to the police.

Meanwhile, EOW has also recovered a super bike, Ducati, costing around Rs 8 lakh from Prashant who is the manager of Fernandez. This bike was gifted by Chandrashekhar to Prashant.

Jaqueline was so convinced and influenced by Chandrashekhar that she would call him "man of her dreams" and was thinking of marrying him, ANI quoted sources as saying.

Nora never met Chandershekhar. She had talked with him through Whatsapp, twice, the source said.

While speaking to ANI, Ravinder Yadav said, "There is more trouble for Jaqueline as she did not cut ties with Sukesh even after knowing his criminal antecedents. But Nora did disconnect herself once she suspected that something is fishy."
