On being told by the Delhi Police, Jacqueline’s lawyer said that she would appear for questioning on September 12. At the same time, in the supplementary chargesheet filed in the court, the ED has said that the thug Sukesh Chandrashekhar gave gifts worth 5.71 crores to Jacqueline out of the amount received from the extortion. He took the help of his colleague Pinky Irani to deliver the gift. Pinky has also been made an accused by the ED. The ED also says that Jacqueline was aware of Sukesh’s criminal history. It is being told that Jacqueline had admitted to receiving gifts from Sukesh and his wife Leena on August 30 and October 20 last year during the ED’s interrogation. The ED had also attached Jacqueline’s assets worth Rs 7.12 crore in this case.
Regarding Sukesh, the ED says that he was in touch with Jacqueline from February to August last year. The thug was arrested in August 2021. Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivendra Mohan Singh and his wife were also victims of the fraud. Sukesh used to call as Home Secretary, sometimes Finance Secretary and sometimes PMO officer to trap his victim. He had achieved 200 crores within a year. Even with the connivance of the officers in Delhi’s Tihar Jail, he was continuing the work of extortion.
