'Ready for Punishment...': Conman Sukesh Challenges Jacqueline's Plea Over Letters Sent by Him

Alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar on Tuesday challenged Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez’s plea over ‘intimidating’ and ‘harassing’ letters he sent to her. He filed an application in Delhi’s Patiala House court stating Jacqueline’s plea has “suppressed multiple facts” in connection with the Rs 200 crore extortion case.

Last week, the actress moved to the Delhi High Court seeking direction to the superintendent of Mandoli prison and Delhi Police’s economic offences wing (EOW) to not allow Sukesh from issuing any letters, messages, or statements addressed to her directly or indirectly.

“I am ready to undergo any punishment if even one single letter sent to Jacqueline proves or covers my content that is threatening, intimidating, or related to any of the cases or matters pertaining to the ongoing EOW or ED cases,” Chandrashekhar’s application said. He further questioned why the actress did not approach the high court last year when he sent several letters.

Jacqueline, on the other hand, further alleged in her plea that Sukesh “persistently engages in the unsolicited dissemination of troubling letters” to multiple electronic and print media platforms, which creates a distressing environment for her.

“This relentless pursuit by Chandrashekhar, aimed at establishing contact with the applicant (Jacqueline), is nothing short of a blatant attempt at witness tampering, with the clear intention of mentally intimidating her to the extent that she is compelled to withhold the truth in the criminal trial,” the plea stated.

The EOW supported the actress’ plea saying it has observed the accused has been in the “habit of sending letters, concerning the present applicant, to media platforms, through various means, which is not only harassing/ threatening the present applicant directly but also affecting her social/ professional assignments.”

The Bollywood actress is a protected witness in the FIR being investigated by the EOW in connection with the Rs 200-crore money-laundering and extortion case linked to Sukesh.
