Nora Fatehi again appears before ED in PMLA case against Sukesh Chandrashekhar

She is to be questioned on some new facts that have emerged in the case.

Actor Nora Fatehi on Friday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate here for a fresh recording of her statement in connection with an ongoing money laundering probe against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and associates, official sources said.

Fatehi, 30, has been questioned by the federal agency in the case a few times in the past. The Canadian-born artiste came to India about seven-eight years ago to work in the Hindi film industry.

Sources said the actor, known for her dance numbers in Bollywood films, will be questioned about some more issues related to Chandrashekhar and her statement is being recorded under sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

She is understood to be being questioned on some new facts that have emerged in the case.

The ED, in its earlier charge sheets filed in this case, had named actor Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused while Fatehi's statement was included in the same prosecution complaint.

She had told the agency in her statement that Chandrashekar's wife Leena Maria Paul (Leena Paulose) had invited her for a charity event at a five-star hotel in Chennai, in December 2020, and she was offered a new i-Phone, a Gucci bag and a BMW car.

"I had received the bag and phone on the spot in front of everyone but the car gift procedure happened after the event was over," she had told the ED.
