Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi has been summoned once again by the Indian Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.
After recording her statement in a money laundering case, the actress will be seen arriving at the ED office for further interrogation. Nora Fatehi’s statement would be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in a cheating case lodged against Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
Chandrasekar and Paul have already been arrested by Delhi Police for allegedly duping the family of Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh of around ₹ 200 crores.
According to a report, earlier, Jacqueline Fernandez was also probed by the agency as a witness in the Rs. 200 Crore money laundering case. Fatehi and Fernandes were also scammed by Chandrashekar. The case was filed based on a complaint by Shivinder Singh’s wife, Aditi Singh, who said a man posing as a senior Law Ministry official offered to help get bail for Mr Singh (then in jail) in return for money.
Ms. Singh said she paid out ₹ 200 crore in 30 installments starting June 2020 and was told the money was meant for BJP party funds. She also claimed to have been told that Home Minister Amit Shah and then Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad were both on her side.
At the time of the incident, Chandrasekhar, accused in 21 cases, was lodged in Delhi’s Rohini jail. Yesterday his remand was extended by 11 days, and that of Leena Paul by 16 days.
