New Delhi, June 3: Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez appeared before the Patiala House Court in New Delhi on Wednesday, in connection with a high-profile money laundering case involving ₹200 crores. During the court proceedings, Jacqueline asserted that the allegations against her are completely false and maintained her innocence.
She expressed her trust in the judiciary and stated that she would face the legal process ahead. After the hearing concluded, she left the premises without speaking to the media.
The court has framed charges against Jacqueline Fernandez, Sukesh Chandrashekhar, his wife Leena Maria Paul, and several other accused under money laundering laws. However, all accused have categorically denied the charges against them.
This case is linked to Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is accused of extorting around ₹200 crores from a businessman’s wife. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating the matter.
According to the ED, Sukesh allegedly spent a significant portion of the extorted money on Jacqueline. The agency claims that he gifted her luxury cars, branded bags, expensive jewelry, and other lavish gifts. The ED also alleges that Jacqueline was aware of Sukesh’s criminal activities and ongoing cases, yet continued to accept gifts from him.
Jacqueline has consistently maintained that she too has been a victim of this scam, claiming she had no knowledge of Sukesh’s true identity or his alleged criminal record.
Notably, Jacqueline and Sukesh have made headlines multiple times over the past few years, with their private pictures circulating on social media. Sukesh has also written several open letters to Jacqueline from prison, expressing his affection and claiming to have sent her expensive gifts.
