Sukesh and his wife Leena Maria Paul, and others were charged by the Delhi Police last year with extortion of Rs 200 crore from the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh.

According to the report, Nora denied the accusations that con man Sukesh gave Nora Fatehi a BMW. She informed the police that Sukesh's wife gave the car to her as payment for going to an event in Chennai.

 Actress Jacqueline Fernandez had already been listed by the Enforcement Directorate as a suspect in the Rs 200 crore extortion case. In August, the ED also submitted the charge sheet against the Bollywood star.

According to sources, the ED found Jacqueline to be the beneficiary of the extortionate money's proceeds. The ED claims she knew that extortionist Sukesh Chandrashekhar was a con guy. 

Key witnesses and defendants have admitted in their statements that Jacqueline Fernandez frequently utilized video calls to communicate with Sukesh.

 Sukesh also confessed that he had gifted the actor.

Jacqueline has now been called by the EOW to give a statement on the matter on September 12 for recording.
