Actor Jacqueline Fernandez filed a formal complaint against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. She accuses him of harassing and threatening her from within a jail. Jacqueline lodged the case with Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora. The Indian Express reported that she directed a letter to the Special Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch). A specialized unit has been tasked with initiating a preliminary inquiry into the complaint.
Jacqueline Fernandez files complaint against Sukesh
Sukesh Chandrashekhar has reportedly made repeated attempts to communicate with Jacqueline Fernandez, causing distress. In a recent letter to the police chief titled “Systemic Failure in Prosecution Witness Protection,” Jacqueline detailed her ordeal. She expressed distress at her unwitting involvement in a case with significant legal ramifications. Jacqueline highlighted the psychological pressure and targeted intimidation allegedly inflicted by Sukesh Chandrashekhar, an accused individual held in Mandoli Jail.
In her correspondence, Jacqueline urged the police commissioner to intervene promptly. She emphasized the threat to her safety and the potential compromise of legal proceedings. Jacqueline urged an FIR under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against Sukesh. The request was to protect her as a prosecution witness in a case under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA).
“These actions do not merely impinge upon my rights; they strike at the heart of our justice system. “The principle of witness protection is fundamental to justice. Its compromise undermines the credibility of our legal institutions. All communication channels available to the accused must be scrutinized, and stringent measures must be implemented to prevent further abuse,” she emphasized.
Details of the Case
In December of the preceding year, Jacqueline sought relief from a Delhi court to prevent Sukesh from further attempts at communication. She plays a key role as a witness in the FIR investigated by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW). The investigation concerns a ₹200 crore money laundering and extortion case allegedly linked to Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
