Jacqueline Fernandez Claims Innocence in ₹200 Crore Money Laundering Case
Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has strongly denied allegations of money laundering in connection with the ₹200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Appearing before the Delhi High Court, her counsel argued that Jacqueline had no knowledge of the criminal origins of the extravagant gifts she received, including luxury items, from Sukesh. The next hearing is scheduled for December 3, when the Enforcement Directorate (ED) will present its submissions.
Senior Advocate Siddharth Agarwal, accompanied by Advocates Prashant Patil and Shakti Pandey, defended Jacqueline, asserting that she did not derive any economic benefit from criminal activities. They emphasized that Jacqueline was unaware of Sukesh’s extortion of ₹200 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of a jailed industrialist, until the FIR was filed. Her team argued that “knowledge” is a key factor in proving involvement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Jacqueline’s counsel also referenced the Supreme Court judgment in Vijay Madanlal Chaudhary’s case, stating that not all attached properties during investigations qualify as proceeds of crime. They further argued that Jacqueline is already a witness in the extortion case under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) and cannot be prosecuted twice on the same facts.
Meanwhile, the ED, represented by Advocate Zoheb Hossain, maintains Jacqueline’s connection to Sukesh Chandrashekhar is significant to their investigation.
Jacqueline, embroiled in one of Bollywood’s biggest legal controversies, insists she was merely a recipient of gifts without knowing their illicit origins. With the ED set to present its counterarguments, the case continues to captivate attention, raising questions about whether the actress will successfully defend her innocence or face further scrutiny.
