Jacqueline Fernandez gets interim bail in connection with Rs 200 crore extortion case
On a bail bond of Rs 50,000, special judge Shailendra Malik granted the actor temporary relief from the deep questioning in this matter.
Actor Jacqueline Fernandez was granted interim bail by Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Monday in the Rs 200 crore extortion case in which jailed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar is the main accused.
On a bail bond of Rs 50,000, special judge Shailendra Malik granted the actor temporary relief from the deep questioning in this matter. The next hearing in the case will take place on October 22. She was named as an accused in a supplementary charge sheet that the Enforcement Directorate had submitted to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act court.
Jacqueline had been summoned several times by the ED in connection with the money laundering case. Last week, the actor was questioned for about seven hours by the ED on this matter. However, this is the first time the actor has been named as an accused in the Rs 200 crore money extortion case.
During the investigation, the actor admitted that the jailed conman had paid a huge amount of money to fashion designer Leepakshi Ellawadi to design exclusive outfits for her. Last week, the Economic Offences Wing of Delhi Police also summoned Leepakshi for nearly eight hours related to the case where she admitted that she knew about the relationship shared by Jacqueline and Sukesh.
She further said that Sukesh had also taken suggestions from her about the brands of clothes Jacqueline usually wears in a bid to impress her. However, she concluded by saying that the actor cut all ties with the conman as and when she got the news about his arrest.
Jacqueline has been summoned by the ED for her alleged role in the case. Earlier, she had been accused of accepting expensive gifts and luxurious cars from Sukesh at a time when he was in Tihar Jail and being investigated for money laundering. The conman had allegedly gifted jewellery worth over Rs 7 crore to the actor.
Talking about their relationship, Jacqueline told the officers that the friendship between the duo bloomed on WhatsApp in January 2021. She also confessed that she had secretly met the conman several times at a well-known hotel in Chennai and other places.
Apart from Jacqueline, Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi has also received expensive gifts and luxurious cars from the conman.
Chandrashekhar, who is currently in jail, is suspected of cheating numerous people, including well-known figures like Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh.
