Jacqueline Fernandez gained notoriety after the actor was called in by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in relation to a money laundering case involving Sukesh Chandrasekhar, a convicted con man. Jacqueline was summoned to the ED headquarters in June to give a statement on the case. The actor has denied dating Sukesh, despite supposed pictures of Jacqueline and him being together being extensively circulated online prior to this. Now, a brand-new study shows how Sukesh initially spoke with Jacqueline from within Tihar Jail in 2021.

According to the allegation, the Kick (2014) actress first ignored Sukesh's messages to her. Sukesh eventually got in touch with the actor by courtesy of her hairdresser. Sukesh apparently introduced himself as the owner of a jewellery company and a TV network. Additionally, he claimed to be 'close' to Amit Shah, the home minister. According to the report, Jacqueline admitted to investigators that she was unaware that Sukesh, who is suspected of money laundering in the amount of 200 crores, was contacting her from within the jail and questioned him as to why he avoided seeing her on occasion.

Sukesh's lawyer had before disclosed to the public that Fernandez was dating him. Her affiliation with Sukesh, however, had been refuted by the actor's management. The agency attached the actor's properties worth 7.27 crore rupees in April in the case that was filed under the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act), 2002. After the ED issued a lookout circular in her name, Jacqueline was prevented from boarding a flight from Mumbai airport to Muscat in December 2021.
