From behind the bars, Sukesh Chandrashekhar once again penned a letter wherein he highlighted that he was 'sad and disturbed' to see his private pictures with actor Jacqueline Fernandez being circulated.

Sukesh Chandrashekhar on gifts to Jacqueline: 'It's personal'

"Kindly requesting everyone to stop projecting our relationship and her (Fernandez) in a wrong way as it is not easy for someone who has only loved without expecting anything, said Chandrashekhar, adding that she has no involvement in the ongoing money laundering case. He was arrested in August for carrying out a Rs 200 crore con. In the chargesheet filed thereafter, he, along with his wife Leena Maria Paul and 12 others were named for duping one Aditi Singh, wife of the former promoter of Ranbaxy, Malvinder Mohan Singh. 

"I have gifted her things and done things for her family just like anyone else would do for his loved one in a relationship- it's personal. I don't understand why it is being made such a bid deal," Chandrashekar further wrote in the letter. The alleged conman added," At the same time I would like to again certain that none of it was proceeds of the so-called crime. It is all from legitimate earning and the same would be proved in the court of law."
