The economic offences wing (EOW) of Delhi Police on Thursday recovered a bike from Prashant, manager of actor Jacqueline Fernandez.
According to officials, the bike (Ducati), which cost around Rs 8 lakh, was given to Prashant by Sukesh Chandrasekhar with the proceeds of a fraud. “EOW recovered a Ducati bike from Jacqueline Fernandez’s manager, Prashant. This bike was given to Prashant by Sukesh Chandrasekhar with the money from the fraud. In February 2021, Sukesh gave this bike to Jacqueline’s manager,” said the official. Sukesh Chandrashekhar has been accused of running an extortion racket worth Rs 200 crore when he was lodged in Rohini jail, by Aditi Singh, the wife of jailed former Ranbaxy owner Shivinder Singh, posing as officials from the union law ministry and the PMO, on the pretext of getting her husband out on bail.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar, a native of Bengaluru in Karnataka, is currently lodged in a Delhi jail and faces over 10 criminal cases registered against him.
According to the sources, Delhi Police had prepared a questionnaire of 100 odd questions that actor Jacqueline Fernandez was asked to answer in the alleged Rs 200 crore scam on Wednesday.
