Digital Desk: In the multi-million dollar money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has named Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused in the supplementary charge sheet.
At Delhi's Patiala House Court, the ED is expected to file a second additional prosecution complaint against the actress in the Rs 215 crore extortion racket and money-laundering case against Sukesh. The charge sheet will be filed under the Money Laundering Prevention Act (PMLA).
The supplementary charge sheet would be filed in the recovery case of Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is currently being lodged in Tihar Jail.
The ED claimed that the actress was a beneficiary of a Rs 215 crore extortion case and accused her of it. Reportedly, Jacqueline was aware that Sukesh was a criminal and an extortionist.
The actress was gifted items worth Rs 10 crore by the conman. Fixed deposits belonging to Jacqueline that were worth Rs 7.2 crore had also been attached by the ED.
In connection with the case and her relationship with the conman, Sukesh, the 36-year-old actor, has been questioned by the federal investigation agency numerous times. She was last interrogated in June.
As witnesses in the case, actor Nora Fatehi and Jacqueline have already recorded their testimonies.
According to the actress's taped testimony to ED, Sukesh gave her three Gucci, Channel, and Hermes bags, two Gucci gym clothes, two pairs of Louis Vuitton shoes, two pairs of diamond earrings, a bracelet made of many coloured stones; and two Hermes bracelets as "gifts."
She had also disclosed to the Enforcement Directorate in her testimony that she had returned the Mini Cooper he had given her as a gift. Additionally, it was found that he had been in "frequent touch" with the actress since February up until the Delhi Police detained him on August 7 of last year.
Sukesh was later arrested by the ED, and his name is being investigated by numerous central agencies, including the CBI and the Income Tax Department. Sukesh was accused of extorting Rs 215 crore from the wife of a Delhi-based businessman through fake phone calls. Sukesh is also thought to have been involved in a cheating case involving TTV Dhinakaran that dates back five years.
The actor, a Sri Lanka national, debuted in the Bollywood film industry in 2009.
