New Delhi, June 1:
A Delhi court has directed that charges be framed against actress Jacqueline Fernandez in connection with the ₹200 crore money laundering case involving alleged fraudster Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
The court observed that there was sufficient material at the preliminary stage to proceed with the case. Investigating agencies allege that the actress received costly gifts and other benefits linked to funds generated through criminal activities.
According to the prosecution, Fernandez was aware of concerns surrounding Chandrasekhar’s background but continued to maintain contact and accept gifts. The court stated that these allegations warrant a full trial to determine the facts.
The actress has denied any wrongdoing and has maintained that she was unaware of any illegal source of funds. Her legal representatives have argued that she was misled and should be treated as a victim rather than an accused.
