New Delhi, February 12
Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez has filed a complaint with Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, alleging that he was harassing her and threatening her from inside a jail.
Jacqueline sent the letter from her official email ID to Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora and Special Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) on their email IDs.
In a letter address to Delhi Police Commissioner and senior officers, Jacqueline said, “I am responsible citizen, who has found herself inadvertently embroiled in a case that has far-reaching implications for the rule of law and the sanctity of our “judicial system”. As a prosecution witness in a case registered by the special cell, I write to you amidst a harrowing ordeal of psychological pressure and targeted intimidation campaigns.”
In her letter, Jacqueline has urged the top cop for immediate intervention into the matter that not only threatens her safety, but also jeopardises the integrity of the legal processes. “A man identifying himself as Sukesh is an accused, sitting behind bars in Mandoli Jail, and threatening her with intimidating tactics in open public domain,” it said, adding that an FIR under IPC sections should be registered against him to ensure her protection as a “prosecution witness” in a case under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
“These actions do not merely impinge upon my individual rights; they strike at the heart of our justice system. The principle of witness protection, which is fundamental to the administration of justice, has been compromised, undermining the credibility and efficacy of our legal institutions,” she stated.
In December last year, Jacqueline had moved a Delhi court seeking directions to immediately restrain Sukesh from issuing letters, messages, or statements addressed to her. She is a witness in the FIR being investigated by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police in connection with the Rs 200 crore money-laundering and extortion case linked to Sukesh. In the plea dated December 17, she alleged that the threats and intimidation tactics used by Sukesh have caused serious harassment to her.
