    Jacqueline Fernandez files new plea in Delhi court for Dubai travel

    Digital Desk: Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has filed a new application in Delhi's Patiala House Court asking permission to travel to Dubai from January 21 to 31. The actress has stated that she wants to travel to Dubai to attend the Pepsico India Conference.


    Jacqueline Fernandes had withdrawn her earlier application to travel overseas for work reasons. On January 29, she had filed a request to travel to Dubai. Earlier, on December 22, she withdrew her application for permission to travel to Bahrain to meet her parents after a Delhi court and the ED objected to the request.


    Jacqueline Fernandez is being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) due to her past connection with conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.


    The actress was not present at today's hearing. On Monday, Additional Sessions Judge Shailender Malik gave the actress a one-day personal appearance exemption.


    The Enforcement Directorate, which is investigating a case involving her claimed ex-boyfriend and conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, has requested more time to file a response.


    The next hearing is scheduled for January 27.


    The ED is questioning the actress in connection with a Rs 200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. He is accused of extorting money from politicians, celebrities, and business owners, as well as defrauding former Ranbaxy CEO Shivinder Mohan Singh's wife Aditi Singh of Rs 200 crore.


    The jailed conman had allegedly sent expensive gifts to Jacqueline, while he also booked a chartered flight for her from Mumbai to Chennai during his bail period.  However, the actress has been requesting that the court release her from all charges since Jacqueline claimed that she was unaware of his deception.


    Fernandez was granted regular bail in the case on November 15, 2022. She was named by the ED in the charge sheet as one of the accused in connection with the money laundering case, and as a result, she is no longer permitted to leave the country.
