Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi was on Thursday questioned for nearly five hours by the Delhi police's economic offences wing as part of the investigation into her connection with an extortion case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, officials said.

This was the second time that she was summoned for questioning by the Delhi police for her alleged role in the case, they said.

Fatehi was questioned alongside Pinki Irani who allegedly introduced her to Chandrashekhar.

Irani was quizzed on Wednesday too along with actor Jacqueline Fernandez in connection with the case, the police said.

A senior police officer said both Irani and Fatehi joined the probe at the economic offences wing's office at Mandir Marg.

"Fatehi, her brother-in-law Mehboob alias Bobby and Irani were questioned for nearly five hours. All of them cooperated during the investigation and they were provided lunch. Since Irani had approached Fatehi's brother-in-law as well, all the three were also confronted with each other," he said.

"We had already questioned Fatehi but we wanted to seek details about who actually received a car as a gift from Chandrashekhar's wife after she attended an event for the couple in Chennai and check details of the bank statements of her brother-in-law," the officer added.

Fatehi and her brother-in-law were given a questionnaire which had 30 questions. They answered all questions, he added.
