The agency has questioned Jacqueline several times in this instance, the most recent time being in June. In addition to the 15 lakh dollars in cash, the ED temporarily attached the actor's finances under the PMLA in April because it deemed them to be "proceeds of crime."

Digital Desk: The Enforcement
Directorate (ED) charged actor Jacqueline Fernandez on Wednesday in the
extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Following the appearance
of intimate photos of Jacqueline and Sukesh, the ED questioned her. According
to accounts, she originally denied being involved with Sukesh, but he later
admitted that they had been dating. Actor R. Madhavan has since shown support
for her.

According
to reports, Jacqueline has been charged as an accused in the 215 crore
extortion case and a new charge sheet or prosecution complaint is anticipated
to be filed by the federal investigation agency on Wednesday before a special
Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Delhi.

 At
a Mumbai event to promote his new movie Dhokha-Round D Corner, R Madhavan
stated, "I hope she quickly resolves her situation." This, in my opinion,
is not harming the nation's reputation. In actuality, there have been fewer tax
raids in our film community. Everyone is working honestly and completely. It
won't, in my opinion, have an impact on business. Taxpayers from this sector
pay more. "

In addition to the 15 lakh dollars in cash, the ED temporarily attached the
actor's finances under the PMLA in April because it deemed them to be "proceeds
of crime."

 The ED had earlier claimed that
Chandrashekhar had extorted cash from prominent individuals, including former
Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh's wife Aditi Singh, to buy
gifts for Jacqueline. Sukesh Chandrasekhar gave Jacqueline Fernandez a number
of gifts totaling 5.71 crore rupees from the profits of crime, which included
extortion.

Pinky Irani, a longtime friend and
co-accused in this case, was sent by Chandrasekhar to deliver the gifts to the
woman, the ED had then stated in a statement.
