Ed's investigation and proceedings against Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez in a money laundering case will continue. The Delhi High Court on Thursday dismissed the actress' plea seeking quashing of ed's FIR. The ED has filed an FIR against Him in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Jacqueline is also an accused in the case. During his stay in Tihar jail, Sukesh had cheated former Ranbaxy promoters Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh by promising to get them out of jail. For this, he cheated his wives of more than Rs 200 crore. He sometimes referred to himself as an officer of the PM's office, and sometimes as an official of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Several Tihar jail officials were also involved in his cheating. Sukesh used to pay a huge amount to all of them. After this, the Enforcement Directorate registered a case of money laundering against Sukesh. Sukesh's wife Leena Paul is also an accused in the case. He is accused of transferring money through a Chennai-based company. Chandrasekhar and Leena were arrested by the Delhi Police in connection with the ED's money laundering case. The police have invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in the case. According to ED, the conversation between Sukesh and Jacqueline started in January 2021. Despite being lodged in Tihar jail, Sukesh used to talk to Jacqueline on the phone. The ED has stated in its charge sheet that Sukesh had gifted crores of rupees to Jacqueline Fernandez. These include an Arabic horse worth Rs 52 lakh, three Persian cats worth Rs 9 lakh, expensive gifts like a diamond set. Sukesh had also booked chartered flights for Jacqueline and also gave her gold, diamond ornaments, imported crockery. Apart from this, Sukesh has also dealt with Jacqueline's brother. Sukesh has also claimed that he has been in a relationship with Jacqueline. In 2010, Sukesh met model and actress Leena Paul. Leena has worked in the film 'Madras Cafe'. Their friendship grew slowly and they started living together. It was from here that Sukesh entered Bollywood. Now Leena also started helping Sukesh cheat people. The two got married in 2015. Even after marriage, there were rumours of Sukesh having an affair with many Bollywood actresses. In 2015, Sukesh and Leena came to Mumbai. Here, he duped more than 450 people of Rs 19.5 crore through a fake scheme. The CBI then registered a case against the duo. Even after this, Sukesh continued his cheating game. He kept deceiving people by posing as a law and home ministry official. Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who claims to be karunanidhi's son, hails from Bengaluru in Karnataka. It is said that he started cheating people to live a luxurious lifestyle at the age of 17. After cheating in Bengaluru, he also targeted people in Chennai and other cities. Its targets include top politicians, businessmen and Bollywood celebrities. Sukesh used to call high-profile people and identify himself as a senior government official. In 2007, he duped more than 100 people by claiming to be senior government officials and promising them jobs in the Bengaluru Development Authority. Sukesh was also arrested in the case. After his release from jail, Sukesh again continued to cheat people. More than 30 cases have been registered against Sukesh. It is said that in Tamil Nadu, he called himself the son of former chief minister Karunanidhi. He has duped many by calling himself the nephew of former Andhra Pradesh chief minister YSR Reddy. In 2017, Tamil Nadu leader TTV Dhinakaran filed a cheating case against Sukesh with the Delhi Police Crime Branch. The matter pertained to the party's election symbol. In fact, Dhinakaran was the leader of the AIADMK, but was ousted by the party in 2017. Dhinakaran wanted the AIADMK's two-leaves election symbol to remain with him. For this, Sukesh took Rs 50 crore from them. "He knows a senior official of the Election Commission who can get this done," Sukesh told Dinakaran, who was arrested by the police in April 2017 after a case was registered. After this, Sukesh along with jail officials and inmates started running a network of frauds from the jail. Five jail officials were also arrested in the case.
