Amidst ongoing legal turmoil, actor Jacqueline Fernandez has taken legal action against Sukesh Chandrashekar, the alleged conman accused in a ₹200 crore money laundering case, for inundating her with multiple WhatsApp messages from within prison.
The unfolding saga reveals a series of text exchanges between Chandrashekar and Fernandez, presenting a distressing narrative. Ranging from promises to ‘rescue her from the situation’ to peculiar requests, including one urging the actor to wear a black dress to signify acknowledgment of his messages, these interactions have taken a toll on Fernandez.
The actor has approached the courts seeking respite from the barrage of messages and letters from Chandrashekar, citing the distress caused by their media coverage, an aspect that amplifies her ongoing ordeal linked to the money laundering case under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate.
In response, Chandrashekar vehemently denies any content that might be perceived as threatening or coercive in his communication with Fernandez. He pledges to face consequences if any of his messages convey intimidation or relate to the ongoing cases.
WhatsApp conversations obtained by NDTV shed light on Chandrashekar’s attempts to sway Fernandez, assuring her of stardom and hinting at a forthcoming interaction with a renowned filmmaker as part of an alleged “deal.”
The contentious messages include Chandrashekar’s requests for specific attire acknowledgment, expressing confusion over Fernandez’s reluctance to engage, and proclaiming his duty to extricate her from the situation, cautioning against manipulative tactics by others.
Fernandez’s legal move includes a petition filed before the Delhi High Court, seeking the dismissal of the case and additional charges against her. The actor asserts herself as an innocent target of Chandrashekar’s targeted attacks, refuting any involvement in money laundering activities.
However, the Enforcement Directorate contends Fernandez’s claims, highlighting allegations of her receiving substantial gifts from Chandrashekar, pointing to potential violations of money laundering laws.
The court has issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate, scheduling the next hearing for January 29, signaling the continuation of legal proceedings in this high-profile case.
This evolving legal battle underscores Fernandez’s pursuit of relief from unwarranted communications amid the complex entanglement in the ongoing investigation.
