Sukesh Chandrashekar, accused of extorting Rs 217 crore from the wife of a former Fortis promoter to fund an extravagant lifestyle, wished Actor Jacqueline Fernandez Valentine’s Day as he was escorted out of a National Investigation Agency courtroom amidst high security.

Sukesh was produced before Additional Sessions Judge Shailender Malik, who had disposed of an application allowing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to sell 26 luxury cars, which belonged to his wife Leena. It is also expected that Sukesh’s custody may be taken by the ED in a separate case as the judge allowed the agency to join him in their investigation.

Sukesh had turned up for the hearing in a neatly cropped haircut, wearing a Gucci shirt and jeans, surrounded by armed personnel.
