“It is with this trust that I would request my media friends to not circulate images of a nature that intrude on my privacy and personal space. You would not do this to your own loved ones, am sure you would not do this to me either. Hoping that justice and good sense prevails. Thank you,” she said in a statement.

In the picture, she is seen in a compromising position with Sukesh who is accused of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a Rs 200 Crore money laundering case.

Aditi S Singh, the wife of former promoters of Ranbaxy, Fortis and Religare Enterprises Shivinder Singh, had charged Sukesh for cheating Rs 200 crore on the promise of helping her in her husband in a case of scam.
