New Delhi: Actor Jacqueline Fernandez will appear before the Patiala House Court on Thursday. The court will consider her bail plea that was pending in the extortion case featuring alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. The court will also consider the response filed by the Enforcement Directorate in this matter.
The actor’s legal team will reach Delhi tomorrow, November 10, early in the morning.
The Bollywood actor reached the Patiala House Court on October 22 for the hearing of her pending bail plea. She had procured interim bail in the case as the Court had asked the ED to file a reply to her bail application. The court then granted the actress interim relief to November 10.
Jacqueline Fernandez has been in the news for her alleged connection with conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar for a long time now. She is allegedly a part of the Rs 200-crore money laundering case involving Sukesh. In a recent interview with ETimes, the actor’s lawyer revealed that they will continue to “fight for her dignity” and repeated that she was innocent. The response came at the heels of a letter released by Chandrashekar which claimed that Jacqueline had no involvement in the alleged scam.
The letter released by Chandrashekar mentioned that the duo was in a relationship and that it was no fault of Jacqueline’s that the former had bought the actress and her family several gifts. The letter went on to reveal that apparently, the actress had never “demanded” material things and that it was “unfortunate” that she was dragged into legal proceedings. His handwritten letter further stated: “We were in a relationship and if I have given her and her family gifts, what is their fault… She never asked me for anything except loving her and standing by her…”
