Multimillionaire conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar who is facing prosecution in multiple cases including a Rs 200 crore Prevention of Money Laundering case (PMLA) case, has alleged that he has an association with several Bollywood celebrities including actor Shraddha Kapoor and Shilpa Shetty.
According to a report in TOI, The Enforcement Directorate (ED), probing conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case has mentioned that he has an association with several Bollywood celebrities. The report further adds that according to the disclosure statement of Sukesh Chandrashekhar, he has disclosed that he knows Sharadha Kapoor since 2015 and helped her in Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) case.
Speaking about other Bollywood celebrities, Chandrashekhar told to ED that he knew actor Harman Baweja and was planning to co-produce his next movie "Captain" starring Kartik Aryan, the TOI report added.
Chandrashekhar's disclosure statement also mentioned that he also contacted actor Shilpa Shetty for husband Raj Kundra's conditional release. Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi have already recorded their statement as witness in the case.
The central agency stated that Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi received top models of luxury cars and other expensive gifts from the accused.
Meanwhile on Friday (December 17, 2021) Chandrashekhar was confronted with his alleged aide Pinky Irani -- the woman who introduced the former to actress Jacqueline Fernandez, in Tihar Jail in connection with the Rs 200 crore Prevention of Money Laundering case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), sources in the know of things said.
According to the first charge sheet filed by ED, it was Pinky who used to select luxury gifts for Jacqueline and once the payment was made by Sukesh, she used to collect it from gift centres to hand it over to Jacqueline.
Currently, the ED is also seeking legal opinion to prepare a fool-proof supplementary charge sheet.
