Actress Jacqueline Fernandez was granted bail in a money laundering case.
Actress Jacqueline Fernandez was granted bail on Tuesday by Additional Sessions Judge Shailender Malik in an alleged money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
A bail was granted to her on the basis of a personal bond of two lakh rupees and one surety bond of the same amount.
Aman Nandrajog and Prashant Patil, her lawyers, moved a bail plea arguing that she was never arrested during the investigation.
She was granted interim relief on a bond of INR 50,000 on September 26.
In response to the supplementary charge sheet filed on August 17 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the court summoned the actor on August 31.
In searches conducted at premises linked to Chandrasekhar and his associates, the ED discovered 16 luxury vehicles belonging to Leena Paulose or others.
In a money laundering case involving 200 crores, Chandrasekhar, Leena Maria Paul, Deepak Ramnani, Pradeep Ramnani, Kamlesh Kothari, Avtar Singh Kochhar, and two others were named as suspects in a charge sheet previously filed.
Further, her passport application stated that Fernandez had been living in India since 2009 and was respected within the Indian film community. The investigating agency did not name her as an accused in the case but seized her passport without any explanation.
