In a latest twist, Chandrashekhar’s lawyer claimed on Saturday that Jacqueline Fernandez was dating the alleged conman Chandrashekhar. Jacqueline’s spokesperson has slammed Chandrashekhar's lawyer's statement asserting she has no connection with Chandrashekhar or his wife, actress Leena Maria Paul.

Jacqueline’s spokesperson said in a statement, “Jacqueline Fernandez is being called to testify as a witness by the ED. She has duly recorded her statements and in future will also be completely co operating with the agency in the investigations. Jacqueline also categorically denies alleged slanderous statements made about relationship with the involved couple.”

Earlier, Chandrashekhar's lawyer Anant Malik had said, “Jacqueline and Sukesh were dating, these are my instructions, this is straight from the horse’s mouth.”

Jacqueline appeared before ED in August to record her statement in Rs 200 crore money laundering case. She was called again on Wednesday and her statement was recorded under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). 

It is to be noted that actress Nora Fatehi was also summoned by the agency in the case.
