Jacqueline Fernandez moves SC in Rs 200 crore extortion case?
According to ANI, a bench of justices PK Mishra and AS Chandurkar stated that they would hear Jacqueline’s matter on June 11 after her lawyer requested an urgent hearing. It has been reported that the Bollywood actress challenged Patiala House Court’s May 30 order, which directed framing of charges against her in a case involving conman Sukesh.
This case is currently being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The report further suggests that a prima facie case was made against the Hindi film actress based on the material that ED placed before the court.
The court apparently noted that there was enough prima facie material to suggest that Jacqueline continued to receive luxurious gifts from conman Sukesh. This was apparently being done despite the actress having knowledge about Sukesh’s criminal background. Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Prashant Sharma directed to frame charges against those accused in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case, the news agency reported.
“I conclude that prima facie there is sufficient material on record, raising a strong suspicion that the accused Jacqueline Fernandez committed the offence under section 3 of PMLA, punishable under section 4 of PMLA,” ASJ Prashant Sharma was quoted as saying by ANI. It was further observed that there was sufficient material to indicate that the actress was connivance with Sukesh to conceal the use of proceeds of crime.
Jacqueline Fernandez denies allegations against her
After the trial court formally framed charges against Jacqueline, Sukesh and other accused persons, the actress appeared before the court and denied allegations. It is also said that, as per court records, 21 people were accused the money laundering case, while 17 were accused in the MCOCA case. And while the conman apparently signed the chagres in extortion case, he is rumoured to have declined to sign the charges in the MCOCA case.
On the work, Jacqueline will next be seen in Welcome to the Jungle, which is scheduled to release on June 26.
