Jacqueline Fernandez urges court to drop case against her by ED over money laundering charge
Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, seeking that the case against her by the Enforcement Directorate be dismissed.
Fernandez is accused in a Rs. 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
She was made an accused in the case in a supplementary chargesheet filed by the Central agency.
In the petition, she has claimed that the money laundering allegations against her are false. Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who cheated Aditi Singh of Rs. 200 crore, also trapped her, she has claimed.
Fernandez has been accused of enjoying the proceeds of the alleged extortion of 200 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh.
Chandrasekhar and his wife Leena Maria Paul were arrested by the Delhi Police for their alleged role in the duping case.
Delhi Police has alleged that Mumbai-based Pinky Irani is a close aide of Chandrashekhar and introduced him to Jacqueline Fernandez.
