Jacqueline Fernandez Moves High Court Seeking Quashing Of ED case

Mumbai: Jacqueline Fernandez has moved the Delhi High Court, seeking quashing of Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) money-laundering case against her.

The ED has filed a supplementary chargesheet in which Jacqueline has been named as an accused in the Rs 200-crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.

The petition moved by the Bollywood actress stated that in the case registered by Delhi Police, Jacqueline has been presented as a ‘prosecution witness’, hence this leads to ‘favourable conclusion’ in her favour.

“This supports the contention that she had no knowledge whatsoever of the predicate offence committed by the main accused, Sukesh Chandrashekhar, and his associates,” the petition stated.

Sri Lanka-born Jacqueline did not commit any offence of money-laundering as defined under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and neither was she in “possession of proceeds of crime,” the petition argued.
