Jacqueline Fernandez To Appear Before ED For The 6th Time In Money Laundering Case Linked To Conman Sukesh.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Bollywood star Jacqueline Fernandez for additional questioning on July 10th as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation involving alleged scam artist Sukesh Chandrashekhar. According to PTI reports citing official sources, Fernandez has previously been interrogated multiple times by the ED in connection to this case, during which she maintained her innocence and denied any knowledge of Chandrashekhar's purported illegal activities.

The 38-year-old actress of Sri Lankan origin is accused of manipulating high-profile individuals such as Aditi Singh, wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh, to defraud them of approximately 200 crores. The Enforcement Directorate alleges that Chandrashekhar used the illicitly obtained funds to buy presents for Fernandez. The 2022 charge sheet claims that Fernandez knowingly accepted expensive items, jewelry, and gifts from Chandrashekhar despite his dubious background. Fernandez has faced questioning by the ED at least five times as part of the ongoing investigation.

The actress, known for her hit song "Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan," is currently barred from leaving the country due to the money laundering probe. In 2021, she was briefly detained at Mumbai International Airport because of an active Look Out Circular against her. In April 2022, the ED confiscated assets worth Rs 7.27 crore from Fernandez, citing her connection with Chandrashekhar as the primary reason. The ED claims that Chandrashekhar gifted Fernandez items worth Rs 5.71 crore, funded through illegal activities such as extortion. Allegedly, Chandrashekhar used Pinky Irani, his supposed accomplice, to deliver these valuable gifts to Fernandez.
