Pinki Irani Claims She Was 'offered Rs 12 Crore By Sukesh' To Entrap Jacqueline & Others

Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez was on Wednesday questioned by the Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) for over eight hours in connection with an extortion case linked to conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. During the interrogation, the 'Housefull 3' actor admitted to having been in a relationship with Sukesh for six months but claimed that she did not know about his activities.

According to EOW sources, Jacqueline levelled allegations against Pinki Irani, who had apparently introduced her to conman Sukesh. However, Pinki accused Sukesh Chandrashekhar of entrapping her in the extortion racket.

Jacqueline, a Sri Lankan, joined the probe after being issued a third summons on Wednesday. Irani also accompanied her. According to sources, Sukesh had offered Pinki Rs 12 crore to introduce him to Bollywood actors including Jacqueline Fernandez while he was lodged in jail. Pinki reportedly told Jacqueline that Sukesh is being framed by the media and is innocent.

The actor was grilled about her alleged role in the multi-crore money laundering case linked to the conman and about the gifts she took from him among other issues. Later, Fernandez and Pinki were confronted together as suspects in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case.
