Police on Wednesday arrested Pinky Irani, who allegedly introduced Bollywood actor <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/jacqueline-fernandez-appears-before-delhi-police-in-connection-with-sukesh-chandrashekhar-extortion-case-23245789" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Jacqueline Fernandez</a> to <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/sc-allows-sukesh-chandrashekhar-to-appear-via-video-conferencing-before-cbi-court-in-chennai-23239602" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Sukesh Chandrashekhar</a>, in connection with an extortion case linked to the conman, officials said.
Delhi Police spokesperson Suman Nalwa said that Irani, a resident of Mumbai, has joined the investigation at the Economic Offence Wing (EOW) office.
"After having sufficient evidence against her, she has been arrested in this case and produced before the court where her police remand for three days has been granted. Further investigation is in progress," Nalwa said.
A Delhi court on Tuesday granted regular bail to actor Fernandez in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekar, saying the fact that the accused was not arrested during the investigation makes it a case for grant of bail.
Fernandez was in September questioned by the EOW in connection with the extortion case.

Chandrashekhar, who is currently in jail, is accused of cheating various people, including high-profile individuals such as former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh's wife Aditi Singh.
On August 17, the Enforcement Directorate filed a charge sheet naming Fernandez as an accused in a multi-crore money laundering case linked to Chandrashekhar.
According to the ED, Fernandez and another Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi received luxury cars and other expensive gifts from him.
