Early career
Leena returned to India, for a career in the glamour world, in 2011.
Conman Chandrashekhar helped her get modelling assignments in Mumbai and South India.
May 2013
Till 2011, Leena Maria Paul used to travel in a Maruti 800.
She was arrested in May 2013 from a rented farmhouse in Khari Farms in Fatehpur Beri, South Delhi, where Chandrashekhar and she had been staying for just a month.
Both Delhi and Chennai police officers were surprised to see the actress own a fleet of nine luxury cars. During the investigation, luxury cars, including Ashton Martin, Range Rover, BMW 530 D, Rolls Royce Phantom, Audi A4, worth ₹20 crore and 81 watches were seized from their property in Delhi.
The cars that the actress owned cost more than Rs 20 crore. Though the actress and her live-in partner Chandrashekhar were involved in a cheating case that gave them Rs 19 crore, the police suspect that some of the cars were stolen by the actress's friend Chandrashekhar.
Chandrashekhar managed to give police the slip in a Land Cruiser.
Chandrashekhar escaped from the farmhouse, taking advantage of the fact that one of the couple's drivers resembled him, at least in the eyes of Delhi’s North Indian policemen. While the police team was busy talking to the driver, assuming him to be Chandrashekhar, he slipped away. Chandrashekhar fled Delhi and went into hiding near the Indo-Nepal border, but used to come to Siliguri. The police team traced him in Siliguri and finally arrested him from a shopping mall in Kolkata, with diamond rings worth Rs 75 lakh, a Louis Vuitton bag worth Rs 3 lakh and an Apple iPhone in his possession.
In Chennai, Chandrashekhar had duped a man of Rs 19 crore by promising him a major favour through his contacts in the Karnataka government.
He posed as a government official and lured the man into taking a loan from Canara Bank. After the man was unable to repay the loan, the managing director of the bank, V. Jagadish, approached the police.
Officers suspect that the recovered cars might have been stolen by Chandrashekhar because all of them have registration numbers of different states. According to police sources, the registration number of at least one of the cars -- a Rolls Royce Phantom costing at least Rs 3.5 crore -- has been found to be wrong. Another car, a Nissan, is registered in the name of a resident of Delhi's Naraina area, Sohan Lal Ahuja.
The recovered Aston Martin has a West Bengal registration number.
Interestingly, the Land Cruiser in which Chandrashekhar fled had the sticker of the then ruling political party on it. He reportedly obtained the sticker from a minister's relative in Karnataka.
In Delhi’s affluent farmhouse region, Chandrashekhar drove a red-beacon vehicle and a Range Rover in Delhi to impress youths in the locality.
In Delhi he allegedly cheated a businessman of more than Rs 60 lakh posing as an IAS officer. He had also cheated three youths of money on the promise of getting them into Bollywood. He even allegedly posed as DMK chief M. Karunanidhi's grandson before gullible people.
Chandrashekhar allegedly took Rs 3 lakh from each of the three youths, who fell for his bait, on the promise of getting them film roles. He told them that he knew filmmakers in Chennai and could get them into Bollywood. To convince them, he boasted about getting his live-in partner Maria Paul a role in John Abraham's movie Madras Café.
