Nora
Fatehi
has
been
in
the
news
for
her
alleged
involvement
with
conman
Sukesh
Chandrashekar
in
a
money-laundering
case
involving
over
Rs
200
crore.
Actress
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
who
has
also
been
embroiled
in
the
case,
was
summoned
today
by
a
Delhi
court.
Both
Nora
and
Jacqueline
at
the
Enforcement
Directorate
have
been
grilled
multiple
times
relating
to
the
extortion
case.
Meanwhile,
in
a
new
development,
Nora
Fatehi
has
filed
a
defamation
case
in
a
Delhi
court
against
Jacqueline
Fernandez
and
also
some
media
organizations.
The
defamation
suit
names
actress
Jacqueline
Fernandez
as
"accused
1".
Further,
Nora
Fatehi
in
her
suit
said,
"It
has
started
to
become
evident
that
the
aforementioned
rivals
being
unable
to
compete
with
the
Complainant
fairly
in
the
industry
have
started
to
try
and
tarnish
her
reputation
which
would
cause
her
loss
of
work."
Fatehi
also
said
in
her
complaint
that
Fernandez
has
intentionally
made
defamatory
remarks
against
her,
which
are
causing
her
personal
and
professional
downfall.
She
further
stated
that
Fernandez
had
maliciously
tried
to
discharge
herself
from
the
case
as
well.
"Jacqueline
Fernandez
is
also
an
actress,
and
is
pretty
well
known
in
the
film
industry.
She
has
also
been
made
an
accused
in
the
Sukesh
Chandrashekhar
Rs
200
crore
money-laundering
case
by
the
Enforcement
Directorate."
"That
the
defamatory
imputations
were
made
by
Fernandez
due
to
malicious
reasons.
Apart
from
that,
Fernandez
sought
to
criminally
defame
the
complainant
in
order
to
destroy
her
career
to
further
her
own
interests
since
she
is
also
in
Bollywood,"
Fatehi's
complaint
read,
which
was
moved
by
her
counsel
advocate
Vikram
Chauhan.
The
dancer
also
alleged
that
Fernandez
has
made
false
claims
against
her.
Further,
Nora's
plaintiff
said,
"Fernandez
has
unnecessarily
dragged
and
defamed
me
as
I
am
in
the
same
industry.
She
is
fully
aware
that
the
business
of
any
artiste
and
their
career
is
solely
based
on
their
reputation.
This
clearly
establishes
that
the
said
imputation
has
been
made
with
the
intention
and
knowledge
that
such
imputation
will
harm
the
reputation
of
the
complainant."
Nora
Fatehi
claimed
in
her
defamation
suit
that
a
few
media
outlets
harmed
her
reputation
by
quoting
Fernandez.The
next
date
has
been
fixed
for
December
19.
Meanwhile,
on
December
2,
the
ED
questioned
Fatehi
about
her
alleged
involvement
in
conman
Sukesh
Chandrashekhar's
Rs
200
crore
money
laundering
case.
Both
Fernandez
and
Fatehi's
statements
were
recorded
as
witnesses
in
the
case.
ED
had
earlier
attached
fixed
deposits
worth
Rs
7.2
crore
that
belonged
to
Jacqueline
Fernandez
as
they
were
classified
as
proceeds
of
crime
received
by
the
actress.
The
first
supplemental
prosecution
complaint
against
Chandrashekhar's
aide
Pinky
Irani,
who
introduced
the
conman
to
Bollywood,
was
filed
by
the
ED
in
February.
The
charge
sheet
alleges
that
Irani
was
the
person
who
selected
the
gifts,
which
were
usually
highly
priced,
and
delivered
them
to
the
actress's
house
after
Chandrashekhar
paid
for
the
same.
If
the
figures
are
to
be
believed,
conman
Chandrashekhar
has
spent
almost
Rs
20
crore
on
various
models
and
celebrities
in
Bollywood.
ED
filed
the
first
charge
sheet
in
the
case
in
December
last
year
before
the
court
of
Additional
Sessions
Judge
Praveen
Singh.
