New Delhi: Actor Jacqueline Fernandez on Wednesday, arrived at the office of the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police to face another round of questioning. She is likely to be confronted with Pinky Irani, the person who allegedly introduced Jacqueline to conman Sukesh Chandrashekar. ED has prepared a list of questions for the Bollywood actor in connection with her alleged relationship with Sukesh and the gifts she received from him. She will also be asked the exact number of times she met Sukesh.

Jacqueline has been informed that she might have to stay in Delhi for a few days as she may be called for days at a stretch, ANI reported.

In its supplementary charge sheet in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case, ED mentioned that Jacqueline was aware of the nature of Sukesh’s work but consciously chose to overlook it. “Not only her but her family members and friends have benefited out of the relationship financially. Thus, it can be safely concluded that the lure of money ensured that the criminal history of the person she was engaging with did not matter,” the charge sheet, which was filed on August 17, said.

ED also accused Fernandez of “holding back” the truth and changing her statements consistently and said the actor has also been booked for tampering with evidence.

“It is also a fact that Jacqueline Fernandez wiped out the entire data from her mobile phone after the arrest of Sukesh Chandrasekhar, thereby tampering with the evidence. She also asked her colleagues to destroy the evidence,” it said.
