According to the details shared by the EOW officials with the media, Ellawadi accepted during the 8-hour-long interrogation session that she was contacted by Sukesh to know about the clothing and brand preferences of the actor to woo her.
Citing the officials, the publications reported, “He [Chandrashekhar] contacted Ellawadi last year to know about the brands and types of clothing Fernandez preferred.”
“He took suggestions from her and also handed over Rs 3 crore to her to buy her favourite clothes. The entire amount received [from] Chandrashekhar was spent by Ellawadi to purchase gifts for Fernandez,” the officer added.
