Jacqueline Fernandez has made a name for herself in Bollywood with movies like Kick, Race 3, Flying Jatt and Murder 2, among many others. She has been making headlines for quite some time now for her involvement with conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar and his ongoing Rs 200-crore money laundering case. Recently, the conman, who was also in a relationship with the actress, penned down a handwritten note. In the note, he mentions that Jacqueline was not involved in the alleged scam.
Now, the 37-year-old actress's lawyer, Prashant Patil, has claimed that she is innocent. He said that she would fight this case with dignity. Talking about the note written by Sukesh, Patil expressed that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) should focus on seriously investigating the letter. ALSO READ: WHAT!

In an interview with ETimes, the lawyer said, "If it is written by Sukesh Chandrasekhar, then the allegations made by him need to be seriously investigated, independently and fairly by the ED. The contents reveal that the investigation needs to take place on the facts revealed by him. His statement can be recorded under relevant provisions of the law and an investigation can be carried out to find out the truth."
As per Hindustan Times, Sukesh in his letter had written, "It’s very, very unfortunate that Jacqueline has been made an accused in the PMLA (money laundering) case… We were in a relationship, and if I have given her and her family gifts, what is their fault… She never asked me for anything except loving her and standing by her…" ALSO READ: Jacqueline Fernandez Summoned AGAIN By Delhi Police In Rs 200-Crore Extortion Case Linked To Sukesh Chandrashekhar-Report
