Jacqueline Fernandez Moves Court Seeking Restraining Order against Chandrasekhar’s Media Communications

Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez moved Delhi’s Patiala House court on Wednesday, seeking immediate directions to restrain alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar from issuing any communication pertaining to her, directly or indirectly, to the media.

In her plea, the actor sought directions to the superintendent of Mandoli prison and Delhi Police’s economic offences wing (EOW) to prevent Chandrasekhar from issuing any further letters, statements, or messages about her.

The plea highlighted that the “unsolicited dissemination” of the “troubling letters” to the media had created a “distressing environment” for her, adversely affecting her safety and well-being.

In response, the EOW stated in its reply that it was a matter of “grave concern” that an important witness in the case was being harassed and threatened by the accused, potentially impacting the trial.

The court has scheduled the matter for further proceedings on January 17, 2024.

Notably, Fernandez had approached the Delhi High Court on Tuesday, seeking the quashing of the FIR against her in the Enforcement Directorate’s Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving Chandrasekhar.

According to Delhi Police, Chandrasekhar is accused of duping Aditi Singh, the wife of the former promoter of Ranbaxy, Shivinder Mohan Singh, of Rs 200 crore with the promise of securing bail for her husband, who was incarcerated in a criminal case. The Sri Lankan-origin actor has been implicated in allegedly participating in the laundering of the extorted money.
