Delhi High Court To Hear Jacqueline Fernandez’s Plea Against ED Charges On September 18

The Delhi High Court will hear Jacqueline Fernandez’s petition on September 18. The court has directed all parties to submit brief arguments. Jacqueline seeks the cancellation of the charge sheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). In her petition, she claims that Sukesh Chandrashekhar maliciously targeted her and maintains her innocence.

Jacqueline argues that the ED lacks evidence proving her involvement in laundering Sukesh’s money. She contends that this makes her prosecution under sections 3 and 4 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) unjust. She also accuses the ED of bias in naming her as an accused.

Jacqueline has been in the spotlight since her name surfaced in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case linked to Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The central agency listed her as an accused in its supplementary charge sheet. Jacqueline insists the allegations of money laundering are false, claiming Sukesh, who defrauded Aditi Singh of Rs 200 crore, also implicated her.

The Delhi Police previously filed an FIR against Sukesh Chandrashekhar for allegedly defrauding the wives of former Ranbaxy promoters Shivinder and Malvinder Singh of Rs 200 crore. Investigations against Sukesh are ongoing in multiple cases across the country. In a 2011 statement, Jacqueline Fernandez revealed that Sukesh had given her several gifts, including designer bags, Gucci dresses, expensive shoes, luxury bracelets, a Rolex watch, and diamond earrings.
