According to Special Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav, the actress was questioned about her suspected involvement in the multi-million dollar money laundering case connected to Chandrashekhar as well as the gifts she allegedly accepted from him. Irani and Fernandez faced off against one other. According to Yadav, the actor participated during questioning and then had lunch.
As a part of the interview, a questionnaire with roughly 50 questions was created. These questions were asked to Jacqueline, and subsequent inquiries were made in light of her responses.
Jacqueline cooperated during the interrogation and was unable to deny her connections to Chandrashekhar when presented with documentation, which is in the public domain because she had already been questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), another police officer said.
