Jacqueline Fernandez Seeks Protection From Sukesh Chandrasekhar, Alleges Harassment: His Letters Are Troubling
Jacqueline Fernandez Seeks Protection From Conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar: Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, who is alleged to be in a romantic relationship with conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, the main accused in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case, has recently taken legal action against him.
On Wednesday, Jacqueline moved to Delhi court, accusing him of 'intimidating' her, and filed a plea seeking protection from the court.
In her plea dated July 18, the actress stated that while attending the proceedings of the case via Webex, she received unsolicited messages and a voice note from Sukesh, adding that he himself was present in the proceedings through the same platform.
Jacqueline seeks protection from conman Sukesh
According to reports, Jacqueline has approached Delhi's Patiala House Court and sought protection from Sukesh, alleging he has been intimidating her by sending "troubling letters" and messages. She claimed these letters pose a substantial threat to her safety.
She also mentioned that Sukesh has been leaking these letters to the electronic and print media intentionally.
The actor revealed that she filed a complaint with the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), highlighting Sukesh Chandrasekhar's alarming attempts to establish illicit contact with her. She expressed dissatisfaction, stating that no action has been taken by the Delhi Police to date.
Sukesh has sent numerous letters to Jacqueline wherein he called her by names like "angel," "butterfly," and "honey bee," along with other nicknames. A few days ago, he expressed his desire to propose to her "for life" and spend the holiday season like before. Jacqueline has never responded to his letters.
In its response to the Bollywood diva's plea, the EOW stated, "It has been observed that the accused, Sukash Chandershekhar, has been in the habit of sending letters concerning Jacqueline to media platforms through various means, which is not only harassing/threatening her directly, but also affecting her social/professional assignments.
"Such aggravating nature of the threat/harassment to the victim/applicant is a matter of grave concern for the investigating agency that an important witness of the case is being coerced/harassed/ threatened by the accused. It will have serious implications on the conduct of the trial of the case, concerning Jacqueline," it stated.
Further, the EOW stated that Jacqueline had no previous communication with Sukesh and interacted only during the period of his commission of the crime.
The development comes days after the Kick actress pleaded with the Delhi HC to quash the FIR against her in the Enforcement Directorate's Rs 200 crore money laundering case, which involves Chandrasekhar.
The actress has been accused of receiving luxurious gifts that were brought to her by extortion money. She has denied all the allegations and claimed to be "maliciously targetted" by Sukesh.
