Rs 2000000000 money laundering case: Bad news for Jacqueline Fernandez as court…

Actress Jacqueline Fernandez has not got any relief in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case. She has got a setback from the Delhi High Court in this case. The Delhi High Court has rejected the petition to cancel the FIR against Jacqueline.

The Demands That Were Made In Petition

Delhi High Court today, on Thursday, rejected the petition of Jacqueline Fernandez, in which she had sought cancellation of the FIR registered against her in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case related to alleged fraud by Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Justice Anish Dayal rejected Jacqueline’s petition. In the petition filed, there was a demand to cancel the second supplementary chargesheet of the Enforcement Directorate in the case and the proceedings pending in the lower court of Delhi.

Jacqueline’s Appearance Before ED

The ED lawyer opposed the petition, saying that the special court has taken cognizance of the prosecution’s complaint (chargesheet) and found a prima facie case. The lawyer said that the cognizance order was not challenged. Fernandez is an accused in the money laundering case registered against conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and appeared before the ED for questioning in the investigation.

What Are The Allegations?

Delhi Police had registered a case against Chandrashekhar for defrauding the spouses of former Ranbaxy promoters Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh of Rs 200 crore. Investigations are going on against him in several cases across the country. Chandrashekhar and his wife Leena Paulose are facing proceedings in the ED’s money laundering case, who have been arrested by the Delhi Police along with others.

The police have invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) in the case. Leena Paulose and Chandrasekhar are accused of resorting to hawala channels and forming shell companies in connivance with other accused to launder the criminal money.

More About The Case

The ED, through special counsel Zoheb Hossain, argued that their case is different from the EOW case, and her role as a witness in the EOW case does not provide any assistance. In 2022, a trial court allowed Fernandez to be released on bail in the ED case, provided she submitted a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh along with one surety for the same amount.
