Reportedly, Fernandez was also questioned about the previous summon by the Economic Offences Wing which she missed, to which, her lawyer assured cooperation from the actor in future.
It is pertinent to mention that the Bollywood celeb was accused by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the supplementary charge sheet filed before the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) court earlier this month. The charge sheet named Fernandez as accused of receiving gifts worth millions from conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar – the prime accused of the fraud case.

Moreover, reports also suggest that Sukesh gave a Ducati bike to actor’s manager Prashant ‘to impress her’ and also a diamond ring from Tiffany with their initials ‘J&S’ inscribed as a proposal jewel.
