Advocate Ajit Singh, representing the actress, argued that the chargesheet filed by ED has not named Jacqueline as an accused, and yet, the ED has seized the actress’ passport without citing any reason, The Indian Express reported.
Additional Sessions Judge Praveen Singh sought a response from the ED and listed the matter for heating on May 18.
Last December, Jacqueline was not allowed to travel abroad and briefly detained at Mumbai International Airport in connection with the money-laundering case.

The gifts included three designer bags from Gucci and Chanel, two Gucci gym wears, a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes, two pairs of diamond earrings, a bracelet of multi-coloured stones and two Hermes bracelets.
