July 10, 2024: Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on July 10th for the sixth time in connection with a ₹200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. This latest round of questioning comes despite Fernandez’s consistent denial of any knowledge of Chandrashekhar’s criminal activities.
Fernandez has also maintained her innocence in a Delhi court, claiming emotional manipulation and harassment by Chandrashekhar. The ED, however, alleges that Chandrashekhar used “proceeds of crime” to shower Fernandez with expensive gifts, including a Persian cat, an Arabian horse, and valuables worth ₹5.71 crore.
The chargesheet filed by the ED in 2022 accuses Fernandez of accepting these gifts despite knowing about Chandrashekhar’s criminal background. This has led to travel restrictions being placed on Fernandez, with a Look Out Circular (LOC) preventing her from leaving the country. Additionally, the ED attached assets valued at ₹7.27 crore belonging to Fernandez in April 2022 due to her alleged connection to the case.
Meanwhile, Chandrashekhar, currently incarcerated in Mandoli Jail, has written a letter to Jacqueline Fernandez professing his love and longing for her. This development adds another layer to the already complex case, with Fernandez caught between the ED’s accusations and Chandrashekhar’s claims.
As the investigation progresses, it remains to be seen if Fernandez can clear her name or if the ED will tighten its grip on the actress based on the evidence gathered.
Sukesh Chandrasekhar echoes his feelings for Jacqueline Fernandez
Meanwhile, Conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar has written another letter for Jacqueline Fernandez from the Mandoli Jail in New Delhi. In the letter, Sukesh eagerly counted down to Jacqueline’s birthday, which he called his favourite day of the year. He wrote that he cherishes her smile and recently found a song she loved that echoed his feelings for her. He also looked forward to going on a holiday with her once the legal case is behind him. The letter read:
My Bomma Jacqueline, Baby girl, I’m so excited as the countdown to your birthday begins — just 30 days to go! It’s my favorite day of the year, a celebration I cherish, especially seeing your beautiful smile, the one thing that melts my heart.
Baby, these past few days, I’ve been listening and grooving to one of your favorite songs. You know which one! But what’s amazing is that I listened closely to the lyrics and realized I feel exactly the way this song does… So, my Bomma, I want to tell you that I have this amazing “hangover” about you — your voice, your smile, your hugs, cuddles, your love for me, even your quick-to-disappear anger, your eyes, every single thing. It’s a “hangover” that will stay with me forever. And I want this “hangover” to remain even when we’re together. It’s an incredible feeling.
