Jacqueline Fernandez Seeks to Turn Approver in Rs 200 Crore Money Laundering Case

In a major money laundering case of about Rs 200 crore, serious allegations have been made against the alleged swindler, Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The name of film actress Jacqueline Fernandes has also surfaced in this case.

Recently, Jacqueline Fernandes said in a Delhi court that she wants to become an “approver” in this case. This means that she wants to tell the truth while helping in the investigation of the case.

After this, the court told her that for this, she would first have to submit a formal application to the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The court also issued a notice to ED in this case, and the next hearing date was fixed for April 20.

As per the rules, first this request goes to the investigating agency (ED). ED records their statement and then decides whether an application should be made in court to make them an approver or not. A few months ago, the Supreme Court had rejected Jacqueline’s petition in which she had demanded to end the money laundering proceedings going on against her.

Sukesh Chandrashekhar is currently in jail and is accused in many cases. He has also declared himself Jacqueline’s boyfriend many times and has been sending her letters from jail. Although some pictures point towards their acquaintance, Jacqueline says that she was cheated by Sukesh Chandrashekhar and misled by his calling himself a big business man.

In September Last year, the Supreme Court also did not accept Jacqueline’s petition in which she had demanded to end the case. Jacqueline says that she had no knowledge about Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s criminal record. But ED has made him a co-accused in this case and also filed a charge sheet in August 2022.

In a statement, Jacqueline had said that Sukesh Chandrashekhar played with her emotions and made her life difficult and also harmed her career. The investigating agency alleges that Jacqueline received luxury gifts worth more than Rs 7 crore from Sukaash, such as jewellery, clothes, and vehicles.

ED also says that after her arrest, Jacqueline deleted the data from her phone and initially hid the information about money and gifts, which came to light later when evidence was found. This entire case is related to a fraud of about Rs 215 crore, in which Sukesh Chandrashekhar had targeted big people by creating fake identities.
