Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez’s lawyer on Thursday claimed that the actor is a “victim of conspiracy”. The statement came a day after a charge sheet was filed against the actor in a money laundering case. Fernandez, who was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) several times in the matter for investigation, has been named in a supplementary charge sheet filed in a Delhi court by the Enforcement Directorate, which is probing a money trail in the extortion case linked to con man Sukesh Chandrashekar.
The ED’s earlier charge sheet and one supplementary charge sheet did not mention her name as an accused. The documents, however, had mentioned the detail of the statement recorded by Fernandez and Nora Fatehi in the matter. Additional Sessions Judge Praveen Singh posted the matter for August 31 on the issue of taking cognisance of the supplementary charge sheet in the case. According to ED, Fernandez and Fatehi was examined and stated that the actors got luxury cars and other expensive gifts from Chandrashekar. The ED stated that during the investigation, statements of Fernandez were recorded on August 30 and October 20, 2021, where she said that she received gifts from Chandrashekar. Statements of Fatehi were recorded on September 13 and October 14, 2021, wherein she stated that she had received gifts from Chandrashekar and his wife and actress Leena Paulose.(news9live)
