INDIA: Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez gets interim bail from Delhi court on Tuesday. The Houseful actress was linked with conman Sukesh Chandrashekar in the alleged Rs 200 crore money laundering case.
Special judge Shailendra Malik granted bail to Fernandez in defiance of a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh. On 31st August, the probe agency submitted a charge sheet against the Bollywood actress.
Previously, the actress is held from receiving expensive gifts from the conman. Thus, the Enforcement Directorate accused her in their charge sheet, alleging that she, along with her family and friends, was a beneficiary of the illegitimate money. Besides her name, the details of the statements of Fernandez’s fellow actress Nora Fatehi is also mentioned in the charge sheet.
The central investigative team recently challenged Jacqueline’s bail, claiming that “we have never seen Rs 50 lakh in cash in our entire lives, but Jacqueline frittered away Rs 7.14 crore for amusement. She’s tried every trick in the book to get away because she has plenty of money.”
Meanwhile, the Ram Setu actress lawyer said that they will also be filing an application seeking discharge in the money laundering case. The actress believed that all the allegations and accusations made against her were baseless and fake.
In addition, Fernandez’s stylist Leepakshi Ellawadi admitted during questioning by the Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing that her Boss lady had previously accepted pricey gifts from the con artist.
However, the Sukesh Chandrashekar case is taking new twists and turns with each passing day. Recently, he accused AAP chief Aravind Kejriwal of accepting bribery from him against promising him a political seat.
On the work front, the Murder 2 actress is busy with her upcoming Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus, alongside Ranveer Singh and Pooja Hegde. It is slated to be released in December this year.
