Actress Jacqueline Fernandez has taken legal action against Sukesh Chandrashekhar, whom she accuses of harassing and threatening her while he is in prison. As per a report from Indian Express, Fernandez lodged a complaint with Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora and sent a copy of the letter to the Special Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch). This complaint prompted a specialized unit to initiate a preliminary inquiry into the matter. In her communication to the police chief, titled "Systemic Failure in Prosecution Witness Protection," Fernandez expressed her distress over being unintentionally involved in a case with significant implications for the legal system. She described experiencing psychological pressure and targeted intimidation from an individual claiming to be Sukesh, who is presently incarcerated at Mandoli Jail.

The letter from the Bollywood actress also emphasized the urgency of the situation, highlighting the potential danger to her safety and the integrity of the legal proceedings. She urged the immediate involvement of law enforcement and requested the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) to ensure her safety as a prosecution witness in a case under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).

Highlighting the significance of thoroughly examining every means of communication accessible to the defendant and establishing strong safeguards to prevent additional mistreatment. Fernandez's latest grievance comes after her previous legal actions in December, during which she approached a Delhi court to request protective measures against Sukesh contacting her via written correspondence, electronic messages, or public declarations. Fernandez's involvement in the matter relates to her position as a witness in an ongoing investigation by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) into a money laundering and extortion case worth 200 crore rupees, associated with Sukesh.
