Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandes has been making headlines for her involvement in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving her alleged ex-boyfriend and con man Sukesh Chandrasekhar. She has been continuously questioned about it by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). As the actress filed an application seeking protection from her ex-lover as he is intimidating her, the ED has claimed that she was knowingly involved in Sukesh’s criminal activities.
According to the report by Telly Chakkar, the ED presented their stance to the High Court stating that the 38-year-old was knowingly involved in the possession and proceeds from Sukesh’s criminal activities. These claims were made after the actress filed a plea to quash the FIR in the case. Addressing her plea, the ED filed an affidavit. As per the entertainment portal, the Ram Setu actress’ counsel requested time to file a rejoinder for the plea that sought quashing of the FIR.
