Jacqueline Fernandez Tried To Flee India, Destroy Evidence: Agency

We reported earlier today that Jacqueline Fernandez will appear in Delhi Court in connection with the Sukesh Chandrashekhar case. The actress was recently granted interim bail, and the court requested a response from the ED regarding the bail plea. The Enforcement Directorate has submitted a statement claiming that the actress was uncooperative and attempted to flee the country in order to avoid investigation.

Despite her repeated assertions that she was a witness and victim in the case, the ED named Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused in a chargesheet. The actress was also questioned for more than eight hours about her involvement with and relationship with Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The ED stated in a recent statement submitted in response to Jacqueline's plea that the actress attempted to tamper with evidence and even deleted data from her phone. The ED also stated that she was refusing to cooperate with authorities during the investigation. They also claimed that the actress was preparing to flee the country.

In the case, Jacqueline was accused of being an accomplice in the Rs.200 crore extortion case involving Sukesh Chandrashekhar. According to the ED, the actress received gifts worth Rs. 7 crores from the proceeds of crime, which included luxury items as well as financial benefits for her family. In an earlier chargesheet, the ED claimed that the actress was also aware of Chandrashekhar's nefarious activities and continued to communicate with the conman. Jacqueline, on the other hand, claimed that she is one of his victims and not an accomplice after being granted interim bail.

Nora Fatehi, in addition to her, is being investigated in the case and has been named as one of the witnesses.
