Jacqueline Back Under Scrutiny: Questioned in Money Laundering Case!
The ED has called Fernandez to join their investigation today, July 10, citing newly discovered crucial evidence that they wish to verify with her.
By: Tupaki Desk | 10 July 2024 9:40 AM GMTBollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez is once again in the spotlight as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned her for questioning in connection with a Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The ED has called Fernandez to join their investigation today, July 10, citing newly discovered crucial evidence that they wish to verify with her.
Fernandez has been accused of benefiting from the proceeds of a crime where Chandrashekhar allegedly extorted Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh. The actress has previously been interrogated multiple times by the ED, and during a statement recorded in 2021, she mentioned receiving gifts such as designer bags, Gucci outfits, Louis Vuitton shoes, diamond earrings, and other items from Chandrashekhar.
The ED has contended before the Delhi High Court that Jacqueline was knowingly involved in the possession and use of the proceeds of Sukesh's crime. The agency claims that Fernandez never revealed the truth regarding her financial transactions with Chandrasekhar and always concealed facts until confronted with evidence. It is also alleged that Fernandez wiped out the entire data from her mobile phone after Chandrasekhar's arrest, thereby tampering with evidence.
Jacqueline Fernandez's involvement in the case has been a subject of much speculation and controversy. While she has repeatedly denied any romantic relationship with Sukesh Chandrashekhar, the ED maintains that she was knowingly involved in the possession and use of the proceeds of his crime. As the investigation continues, all eyes will be on the actress as she faces further scrutiny from the authorities.
