“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,” the Special Commissioner of Police – EOW, Ravinder Yadav said while speaking to ANI.

She consciously chose to overlook his criminal past and continued to indulge in financial transactions with him,” the chargesheet read.
