Actress Jacqueline Fernandez has been making headlines ever since her name appeared in a money-laundering investigation against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and others. The actress, on Wednesday, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate at its office in Delhi after being summoned by the agency in connection with Rs. 200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Reportedly, Jacqueline has been summoned after the ED in its charge sheet mentioned the actress’ name.
The Kick actress was asked to appear before the probe agency for questioning and to record her statement as a witness in the case. Fernandez has been questioned by the ED, in this case, earlier also. As per the Hindustan Times report, ED in its charge sheet said Jacqueline had received several expensive gifts from Sukesh. During his interrogation, multimillionaire Chandrashekhar revealed that he had gifted Jacqueline a horse worth Rs. 52 lakh and a Persian cat worth Rs. 9 lakh.
The report added that the conman had sent gifts worth over Rs 10 crore to the actress while he was in jail. The ED also reportedly suspected that a huge amount of money, which Sukesh extorted from a businessman’s wife, was diverted to Jacqueline Fernandez.
On December 5, the actress was detained briefly by the immigration authorities at the Mumbai International Airport from going outside the country. She was stopped in the wake of Look Out Circular (LoC) issued against her by the ED. Jacqueline was questioned for several hours at the airport before the authorities let her go.
