But in a last-minute conversation, Jacqueline told the ED officials that she wouldn’t be able to appear on Friday due to some unavoidable circumstances.

As per the sources, the agency is probing if there was any financial transaction between conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar and Jacqueline and Nora Fatehi.

For the unversed, Sukesh Chandrashekhar, his wife Leena, and six others are in the custody of ED.
