The Delhi Police's Economic Offenses Wing last week quizzed the Bollywood star for more than seven hours. She had been summoned in for questioning in relation to her suspected involvement in the crime a second time.
Chandrashekhar was detained for allegedly defrauding and extorting money from several prominent individuals, including Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh. The Enforcement Directorate has questioned many Bollywood stars and models on their suspected connections to Chandrashekhar.
Chandrashekhar was detained in April of last year in connection with another money-laundering case involving the 2017 Election Commission bribery scandal, which is said to have included a former AIADMK leader, among others.
