Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday attached assets worth Rs 7.27 crore of Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez in the money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
The attached property is a fixed deposit, the ANI reported citing sources.
The agency suspects that she is a “beneficiary” of the proceeds allegedly generated by Chandrashekhar by conning and extorting money from some high-profile people.
The conman had also claimed to have given expensive presents, including a horse worth Rs 52 lakh and a Persian cat worth Rs 9 lakh, to the Sri Lankan-origin actor during interrogation by ED.
He is being probed for alleged criminal conspiracy, cheating and extortion to the tune of about Rs 200 crore, which he reportedly executed while sitting behind the bars in Delhi’s Rohini jail.
