Decision On Jacqueline Fernandez's Bail Plea In 200 Crore Extortion Scam On Friday

Delhi's Patiala House court has reserved the decision on the bail application of Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez till Friday in connection with the Rs 200 crore extortion case.

New Delhi: Delhi's Patiala House court has reserved the decision on the bail application of Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez till Friday in connection with the Rs 200 crore extortion case involving multi-millionaire conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. 

Jacqueline was earlier spotted arriving at Delhi's Patiala House Court on Thursday morning. She was previously granted interim bail by the court till November 10 on a bail bond of Rs 50,000.  

Enforcement Directorate had opposed the regular bail plea of the actress claiming that the actress had deleted evidence from her cell phone, and also tried to leave the country. ED also claimed that she never cooperated with the investigation and only made the disclosure when confronted with evidence 

On August 17, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had filed its second supplementary charge sheet in the case naming her as an accused.  

There were also reports that Sukesh Chandrasekhar wrote a letter to his lawyer claiming that Jacqueline Fernandez had no involvement in the scam.  

Jacqueline’s lawyer Prashant Patil had recently spoken about the letter in a conversation with Times of India, and maintained the actor was innocent and will continue to ‘fight for her dignity’.  

"If it is written by Sukesh Chandrasekhar, then the allegations made by him need to be seriously investigated, independently and fairly by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The contents reveal that the investigation needs to take place on the facts revealed by him. His statement can be recorded under relevant provisions of the law and investigation can be carried out to find out the truth,” Prashant Patil had told ETimes.  

"The purpose of any investigation is to find out the truth. If certain facts are revealed by the accused, even that needs to be investigated by the agencies fairly. I repeat, that my client is innocent and she shall fight for her dignity by following the due process of law," Prashant had added.  

Sukesh had written in the letter, “It's very, very unfortunate that Jacqueline has been made an accused in the PMLA (money laundering) case… We were in a relationship and if I have given her and her family gifts, what is their fault… She never asked me for anything except loving her and standing by her...” 

Meanwhile, Sukesh Chandrasekhar has also written a series of letter to Delhi LG VK Saxena, where he has levelled various allegations against AAP leaders.
