New Delhi, Nov 15: In a case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and involving 200 crore in money laundering, a Delhi court on Tuesday granted bail to Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez.
Additional Sessions Judge Shailender Malik allowed the actor’s plea. On a personal bond for two lakh rupees and one surety for the same sum, she was granted bail.
She had never been arrested over the course of the investigation, according to her attorneys Prashant Patil and Nandrajog, who had applied for bail. She received a temporary reprieve on September 26 in exchange for a $50,000 bond.
After reviewing the supplemental chargesheet that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had submitted on August 17, the court had called the actor on August 31. Fernandez was then told to show up in front of the judge. She has been named as an accused in the chargesheet for the first time in the case.
According to the ED, after searches were conducted at premises linked to Chandrasekhar and his associates, 16 luxury vehicles belonging to co-accused Leena Paulose or others were found.
A chargesheet previously filed named eight accused including Chandrasekhar, Leena Maria Paul, Deepak Ramnani, Pradeep Ramnani, Kamlesh Kothari, Avtar Singh Kochhar and two others in the Rs 200-crore money laundering case.
