He constantly showered her with expensive gifts. The actress reportedly received Gucci gym wear, Gucci shoes, Rolex watch, 15 pairs of earrings, 5 Birkin bags, Hermes bangles and LV bags. The conman had also given the actress a fancy mini cooper car. Jacqueline also said in her statement that her sister took a loan of $1,50,000 from Chandrasekhar. However, the actor’s co stars Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar warned her against the conman. Sukesh, however, in his statement said the two were indeed in a relationship and in love, and it had nothing to do with monetary benefits. Continuing Ties With Sukesh  [caption id=“attachment_11612421” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] Sukesh and Jacqueline[/caption] Reports also said the actress didn’t cut ties with Sukesh despite being aware of his identity. “There is more trouble for Jacqueline Fernandez as she did not cut ties with Sukesh Chandrasekhar even after knowing his criminal antecedents. But Nora Fatehi did disconnect herself once she suspected that something is fishy,” said the Special Commissioner of Police – EOW, Ravinder Yadav while speaking to ANI. Why Hasn’t Jacqueline Been Arrested? [caption id=“attachment_11612441” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] Sukesh and Jacqueline[/caption] The same question was posed by a court in Delhi to the ED. The other accused in the 200-crore money laundering case have been arrested. The court asked the ED officials why a pick and choose policy has been adopted for Jacqueline. The court is expected to announce its decision tomorrow regarding Fernandez’ bail request. The ED earlier opposed the actress’ bail and alleged she tried to flee from the country. The agency had earlier issued a Lookout Circular (LOC) in airports to stop the actor from leaving the country.
