Delhi court heard Jacqueline Fernandez’s bail request in relation to the 200 crore money laundering case and questioned why the Bollywood actor had not yet been detained. The decision regarding the actor’s bail request has been postponed until Friday. The actor was present at the hearing in court.
Conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, the lawsuit’s primary accuser, made controversial charges against the AAP and AAP leaders, giving the case political significance ahead of the election season.
Jacqueline’s bail request was earlier disputed by the ED, who claimed she attempted to leave the country. The ED issued a watch notice against Jacqueline last year, and the star was required to obtain court approval before leaving the country.
Jacqueline had already been given conditional bail in the case. The court heard a standard bail plea today. In its response opposing Jacqueline’s normal bail request, the Enforcement Directorate said that she never cooperated with the inquiry and only disclosed the information when presented with evidence. Within ten days of meeting Sukesh, Jacqueline learned of his criminal history. She is a Bollywood actress with significant financial resources, which gives her the high status and influence mentioned in the ED. She is not an ordinary person.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar has issued media remarks while the lawsuit is ongoing, accusing the Aam Aadmi Party of stealing his money.
“My client (Sukesh Chandrashekhar) has received constant threats and pressure to withdraw complaints filed before the Lieutenant Governor’s office against the Aam Aadmi Party, Satyendar Jain, Arvind Kejriwal, and Kailash Gehlot, and also to retract from disclosure statements given to the EOW and ED during the investigation of the above-said case,” Sukesh’s lawyer AK Singh said.
