Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, challenging the money laundering case against her related to an alleged ₹200 crore extortion involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. The Enforcement Directorate has accused her of financial misconduct.
Jacqueline Fernandez’s Legal Move:
Jacqueline Fernandez has officially approached the Delhi High Court, requesting the dismissal of the money laundering case lodged against her. This legal development sheds light on the ongoing complexities surrounding the ₹200 crore extortion case linked to Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
Background on the Case:
The Enforcement Directorate had previously attached assets worth ₹7.27 crore, including a substantial fixed deposit and an amount of ₹15 lakh paid on Jacqueline’s behalf. The case alleges that Chandrasekhar gifted items worth ₹5.71 crore to the actress from the ₹200 crore he purportedly extorted from the family of Shivinder Singh, the former owner of Ranbaxy.
Sukesh Chandrasekhar: The Notorious Conman:
Sukesh Chandrasekhar, known as Bala Ji, is the prime accused in the ₹200 crore money laundering case. Born in Bangalore in 1989, he gained notoriety for his elaborate scams and was first arrested at the age of seventeen for cheating a family friend. Chandrasekhar confessed to a romantic relationship with Jacqueline Fernandez during the investigation. His wife, Leena Maria Paul, is also an Indian actress.
Elaborate Extortion Racket:
While incarcerated in Rohini jail, Chandrasekhar orchestrated an intricate extortion racket using mobile applications and voice modulation software. Posing as various government officials, he extorted ₹215 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Ranbaxy owner Shivendra Singh, under the pretext of aiding her husband’s release from jail.
Legal proceedings continue
As legal proceedings continue, Jacqueline Fernandez’s plea for the dismissal of the money laundering case adds a new chapter to this intricate saga. The case’s twists and turns, coupled with Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s elaborate extortion activities, underscore the complexities surrounding high-profile legal matters in the entertainment industry.
