Actress Jacqueline Fernandez from Bollywood is involved in the ongoing money laundering case involving con artist Sukesh Chandrashekhar that involves 200 crore rupees. A new application for the actress' trip to Dubai for the Pepsico India Conference has since been submitted. Beginning on January 27, 2023, the actress must travel. The actress has repeatedly shown up for many rounds of interrogation before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Economics Offences Wings (EOW). The Enforcement Directorate (ED), however, has asked for more time to provide a response to the matter.
"On Monday, Additional Sessions Judge Shailender Malik granted the actress a one-day exemption from personal presence," according to a News18 report. The hearing on the framing charges in the case was scheduled to take place before the judge, however the hearing was postponed until February 15.
According to earlier allegations, Jacqueline Fernandez' identity was allegedly linked to a fixed deposit of Rs. 7.12 crore. In actuality, the ED calculated that Sukesh used the extortion money to buy Jacqueline gifts "of Rs. 5.71 crore." Sukesh is also claimed to have given a few significant members of Jacqueline's family money totaling close to $173,000 and about 27,000 Australian dollars.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar said that he provided the actress as much as 15 sets of earrings, five Birkin bags, and other high-end items from names like Chanel and Gucci in his declaration submitted last year in accordance with Section 50 of the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act). In addition to the Rolex watches, the con artist claimed to have given Jacqueline Cartier rings, bracelets, and bangles. Additionally, he asserted that he had given Jacqueline jewellery valued at Rs. 7 crore and a horse named "Espuelah."
In addition, Sukesh Chandrashekhar gave Jacqueline Fernandez's US-based sister a loan of $150,000. He allegedly gave her a BMW X5 as well as a Maserati for her parents and a Porsche for her mother in Bahrain. He reportedly also gave her brother in Australia a $50,000 loan.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar and 13 other people are charged by the Delhi Police with defrauding the widow of the erstwhile promoter of Ranbaxy of 200 crore rupees. Officials think Sukesh Chandrashekhar coerced the complainant into paying him Rs. 200 crore by promising to help her husband get out of jail.
The conman allegedly offered Prashant, the agent for Jacqueline Fernandez, a motorcycle for his birthday in 2022, but the agent turned down the gift. Sukesh had left the motorcycle and the keys at Prashant's house, according to the police, who later seized the property.
