Sukesh and Jacqueline
Sukesh Chandrashekhar, an alleged conman, is alleged to have threatened to release “unseen” evidence against Bollywood star Jacqueline Fernandez. Fernandez recently filed a motion in a Delhi court asking for an emergency injunction to prevent him from speaking about her. In a new letter, Sukesh threatened to reveal Jacqueline’s identity and promised to provide screenshots, recordings, and chat transcripts to back up his claims.
“The world needs to know the truth,” says Chandrashekhar
According to the investigation, Sukesh stated that he paid for the bolly star’s social media account to be enhanced in order for her to compete and race against her extremely prominent colleague. “The world needs to know the truth, the reality,” Sukesh, the prime accused in ₹200-crore money laundering case, was quoted as saying in the letter.
On Wednesday, Jacqueline filed a motion in Delhi’s Patiala House Court to stop Chandrasekhar from sending any further letters, remarks, or communications regarding her. She also asked the superintendent of Mandoli Prison and the Delhi Police’s Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) for orders in this regard.
Letters of Sukesh laced with disturbing content: says Jacqueline
Citing Chandrasekhar’s letter dated October 15, the plea said it was “laced with unsolicited and disturbing content,” and that it was widely reported by media. “This relentless pursuit by Chandrashekhar, aimed at establishing contact with the applicant (Jacqueline), is nothing short of a blatant attempt at witness tampering, with the clear intention of mentally intimidating her to the extent that she is compelled to withhold the truth in the criminal trial,” the actor’s petition said.
“These letters, intentionally circulated and published widely in the print media, have caused significant financial losses to the applicant. This campaign is not only harassment and intimidation but is a direct violation of her rights as a prosecution witness,” the plea said.
EOW in support of the actress
The EOW in its reply supported Jacqueline’s plea and said, “It has been observed that the accused Sukash Chandershekhar has also been in the habit of sending letters, concerning the present applicant, to media platforms, through various means, which is not only harassing/ threatening the present applicant directly but also affecting her social/ professional assignments.” In the FIR being looked into by the EOW in relation to the ₹200-crore money-laundering and extortion case connected to accused Chandrashekhar, the actor is a protected witness.
