As per reports, Sukesh told Jacqueline that is not a part of the case, and she does not need to worry. Earlier this month, he told reporters to wish Jacqueline a happy Valentine’s Day on his behalf.

When he was told that the Housefull actress had said that he used her, Sukesh said that he doesn’t want to comment anything about her. “She has got her reasons to say. I don’t want to say anything about her. When you love someone, you try to protect them,” said the alleged conman.

What Happened During The Court Hearing

Sukesh made some shocking statements about jailed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) minister Satyendra Jain. For the unversed, he had earlier accused Jain of threats and mental harassment.

He claimed that the AAP leader had been pressurizing and harassing him in order to withdraw cases filed against them. Sukesh also accused Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Deepak Sharma, of extorting money from him and leaking a video from inside the jail.

Sukesh’s Press Statement

Last month, Sukesh issued a press statement via his lawyers Anant Malik and AK Singh. In the statement, he claimed that he was in a ‘serious relationship’ with Jacqueline, and it was actress Nora Fatehi who ‘brainwashed’ him against the Ram Setu actress. He further said that he started avoiding Nora but she kept irritating him by calling him.

Jacqueline Fernandez is apparently involved in Rs 200 core money laundering case. She has been questioned several times by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). She had also allegedly received many luxurious gifts from Sukesh that reportedly cost a whopping amount.

Meanwhile, the Delhi court extended Sukesh’s ED custody by two days. Reports suggest that the agency has also summoned film producer Karim Morani in connection with the extortion case.
