number
of
cheating
cases,
is
not
debuting
in

with

The

never
part
of

We're
indeed
surprised
to

from
the
film
unit
say
that
they
have
neither
seen
her
during
the
shoot
of
the
film
nor

The
cars
that
the
actress
owned
cost
more
than
Rs
20
crore.
Though
the
actress
and
her
live-in
partner
Chandrashekhar
were
involved
in
a
cheating
case
that
gave
them
Rs
19
crore,
the
police
suspect
that
some
of
the
cars
were
stolen
by
the
actress' friend
Chandrashekhar.
Leena
Maria
Paul
Officers
suspect
that
the
recovered
cars
might
have
been
stolen
by
Chandrashekhar
because
all
of
them
have
registration
numbers
of
different
states.
Sources
said
the
registration
number
of
at
least
one
of
the
cars
-
a
Rolls
Royce
Phantom
was
found
to
be
incorrect.
