Actress Jacqueline Fernandez has been called in again by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning about a huge money laundering case involving a conman named Sukesh Chandrashekhar. On July 10, 2024, the ED asked Jacqueline to come in because they found some new important evidence.
Why Jacqueline is in Trouble
The ED is looking into a case where Sukesh Chandrashekhar allegedly cheated Aditi Singh, the wife of a former Fortis Healthcare promoter, out of Rs 200 crore. Jacqueline is suspected of getting expensive gifts bought with the money Sukesh illegally took.
Jacqueline’s lawyer, Aman Nandrajog, didn’t comment on the case. The ED says Sukesh used the stolen money to buy gifts for Jacqueline. This isn’t the first time Jacqueline has been called in for questioning. Sukesh, who is currently in jail, was rumored to have been romantically involved with Jacqueline, although she has always denied this.
Gifts from Sukesh
In 2021, Jacqueline admitted to receiving gifts from Sukesh. These included designer bags, Gucci gym outfits, Louis Vuitton shoes, diamond earrings, and more.
Defamation and Court Cases
Earlier this year, in February, Jacqueline accused Sukesh of trying to ruin her reputation through the media and said he was harassing her. She even asked the court to take action against him, though she later withdrew her request.
The ED told the Delhi High Court that Jacqueline knew she was using the money Sukesh had stolen. They said this in response to Jacqueline’s attempt to get an FIR (First Information Report) against her dismissed in the money laundering case.
The investigation is ongoing, and the new evidence might shed more light on Jacqueline’s role in the case. Fans and the public are watching closely to see what happens next in this high-profile story.
