Jacqueline Fernandez named an accused in a 200-crore extortion case

In the money laundering case against conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar , who is suspected of demanding extortion payments totalling a staggering 200 crore, actor Jacqueline Fernandez has been identified as a defendant. The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is looking into the money trail in the extortion case, has listed the actor as one of the defendants in the supplemental charge sheet it has submitted to a Delhi court. The ED had already interrogated her and attached the actor’s property. In accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the bureau temporarily attached the actor’s assets totalling 7 crores in April (PMLA). Sukesh Chandrasekhar gave Jacqueline Fernandez a number of gifts totalling 5.71 crore rupees from the proceeds of crime, which included extortion. Pinky Irani, a longtime friend and co-accused in this case, was sent by Chandrasekhar to deliver the gifts to the woman, the ED had then stated in a statement. According to the ED, these presents included a horse for 52 lakh rupees and a Persian cat worth 9 lakh rupees. The FBI has also claimed that Chandrasekhar contributed substantial quantities of money to Ms Fernandez’s relatives. The ED claims Chandrasekhar defrauded the family of former Ranbaxy promoters of 200 crore rupees, of which 5.71 crore were gifts given to the actor. The ED has arrested a total of eight people in this case. These include Sukesh Chandrasekhar and his wife Leena Maria Paul.
