On Friday morning, Jacqueline Fernandez was spotted leaving her home to attend the hearing of the Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar in the Patiala House Court in Delhi. The actress had previously been granted bail by the court on a personal bond for Rs. 2 lakh and a surety bond for the same sum.
After her name came up in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, Jacqueline made headlines. The Enforcement Directorate named Jacqueline as an accused in their chargesheet, stating that she was a recipient of the extorted money. He had given her several expensive gifts.
ED had opposed Jacqueline’s bail and had stated in court that she may leave the nation to avoid the inquiry. “In our whole lives, we had never seen more than Rs. 50 lakh in cash, yet Jacqueline frittered away Rs. 7.14 crore for amusement. She has enough money to attempt every trick in the book to try and get away, the ED had said. The actress had not been detained, and the court had asked the investigative agency why. “Despite issuing a LOC, why haven’t you arrested Jacqueline yet? Other suspects are incarcerated. The Enforcement Directorate was asked by the court, “Why have a pick-and-choose policy?
According to Jacqueline’s attorney, the actress is a victim in this situation. She has always cooperated with the investigative authorities and attended all of the summonses that have been given so far, according to Prashant Patil, who spoke to ETimes. To the best of her abilities, she has provided the ED with all the facts. The authorities don’t seem to understand that she was defrauded and duped into this situation. She is a target of a bigger criminal plot. Even if we assume the entirety of the prosecution’s case to be accurate for the sake of argument, no case has been established against Jacqueline under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act or any other applicable law. In this case, the prosecution is false, and my client must take action.
