ED Opposes Jacqueline Fernandez’s Plea!

Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez is facing increasing legal trouble in the ₹200 crore money laundering case linked to jailed conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Claiming that she was merely a victim in the case, Jacqueline approached the court seeking permission to become an approver. However, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) strongly opposed her plea before the Patiala House Court in New Delhi.

During the hearing before Additional Sessions Judge Prashant Sharma, the ED argued that Jacqueline was fully aware of Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s criminal background but continued her association with him. The agency alleged that she knowingly accepted luxury gifts, expensive diamonds, foreign trips, and cash purchased using proceeds of crime, and also ensured benefits reached her family members. ED further claimed that despite recording her statements multiple times, she failed to disclose complete facts and concealed important financial transactions. The court directed Jacqueline to submit a written response by May 12.
