In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez to appear for questioning on Wednesday in an ongoing high-profile Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
Fernandez has been asked to depose before the investigators at ED headquarters in the national capital.
She was earlier questioned several times by the ED officials in the case for her links with Chandrashekhar, who is
accused of extorting substantial sums from various individuals and allegedly using the funds to sustain a luxurious lifestyle.
The ED seeks to probe Fernandez’s connection to Chandrashekhar and her potential involvement in the laundering activities.
Fernandez has been accused of receiving gifts from Chandrashekhar that were bought with extortion money. She has also been accused of being an accomplice to money laundering, but she claims to be an innocent victim of Chandrashekhar’s schemes.
