The expensive gifts given to Bollywood actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi by conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar will soon be seized by the Enforcement Directorate.
FollowIn the latest update in conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s Rs 200 crore extortion case, Bollywood actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi will no longer be able to take advantage of the expensive gifts the two received from the conman. This is so because the Enforcement Directorate (ED) will be soon confiscating these expensive ‘gifts’ from the two actresses that amount to crores of rupees.
While most of the gifts are materialistic, Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi were also gifted ‘pet animals’. Instead of confiscating the pet animals, reports suggest that the federal probe agency is planning on recovering the price at which these animals were brought, from Jacqueline and Nora.
During the interrogation by the agency, Nora Fatehi told the ED officials that the agency is free to seize the BMW car gifted by Sukesh Chandrasekhar to her. At the same time, Jacqueline Fernandez has also told the ED that the agency can seize those gifts. Jacqueline had told the ED officials that she did not know about the conman’s background, adding that she is ready to fully cooperate with the investigating agency in the process of seizing the gifts.
