Guwahati: The Patiala court on September 26 in Delhi summoned Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez after learning about the Enforcement Directorate’s chargesheet against her.
The Enforcement Directorate listed Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused in a case involving extortion for Rs 215 crore. The Bollywood actor was also the subject of a chargesheet filed by the ED earlier this month.
According to sources, the ED discovered Jacqueline to be the recipient of the extortionate money’s proceeds. The ED thinks she knew that extortionist Sukesh Chandrashekhar was a con guy. Key witnesses and defendants have admitted in their statements that Jacqueline Fernandez frequently utilised video calls to communicate with Sukesh. Sukesh also acknowledged that he had given the actor with Sri Lankan roots presents.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar had previously been discovered by the ED to have delivered her gifts worth Rs 10 crore. The ED has thus far attached assets belonging to the actor totaling more than Rs 7 crore in accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Three government agencies—the CBI, Enforcement Directorate, and Income Tax—as well as numerous state police are looking into Sukesh Chandrashekhar in connection with more than 32 criminal cases.
