New Delhi: Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez of ‘Rara Rakkamma’ fame is now in a tighter bind in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case.
A Delhi court on Wednesday officially filed a chargesheet against actress Jacqueline Fernandez, multi-crore fraudster Sukesh Chandrashekhar and 15 others in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case.
In a separate case filed by the Special Cell of Delhi Police, the court has framed charges against Sukesh Chandrashekhar and 20 others for various offences including the stringent MCOCA provisions.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar, Jacqueline and several others appeared in court in person on Wednesday afternoon.
On May 30, Delhi’s Patiala House Court had ordered the filing of a chargesheet against Jacqueline Fernandez and 17 others, including kingpin Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
Additional Sessions Judge Prashant Sharma, who conducted the hearing, said there was strong evidence that Jacqueline Fernandez was not just an actress who received gifts, but had also collaborated with Sukesh to hide the stolen money.
If we look at the primary documents, it is clear that Jacqueline Fernandez has committed an offence under Section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This is a punishable offence under Section 4, Judge Prashant Sharma said in the order.
