Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi appeared before the Enforcement Directorate for recording her statement in connection with the money laundering probe against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Nora has been questioned multiple times in the past and she was called again on Friday. However, neither the actress nor her legal team has issued any official statement, as of now.
On the other hand, Jacqueline Fernandez has also been extensively questioned in this case. The actress was included as an accused by the ED in its charge sheet. Jacqueline received bail last month after posting a personal bond for Rs. 2 lakh. Pinky Irani, who is reported to have introduced Jacqueline Fernandez to Sukesh Chandrashekhar, was detained by the police earlier this week. The ED claims that Sukesh Chandrasekhar sent various pricey gifts and luxury cars to Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi.
According to the statement of Nora’s spokesperson, published in a report by Times Of India, the actress was helping the investigating agency as a witness. In a statement, the spokesperson had said, “Nora Fatehi has been the victim around the case and being a witness, she is co-operating and helping the officers in the investigation. We would like to make it very clear that she has not been a part of any money laundering activity, she does not know or have any personal connection with the accused and has been called by ED to strictly help with the investigation.”
