ED summons Jacqueline Fernandez in PMLA case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has asked Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez to join the investigation on Wednesday in connection with a Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. A source said the agency has summoned Fernandez after they found some fresh crucial evidence and want to verify with her.

Fernandez has been accused of enjoying the proceeds of a crime in which Chandrashekhar had allegedly extorted Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh.

Aman Nandrajog, the counsel for Fernandez, refused to comment on the matter.

The actor has been questioned multiple times by the agency in the case. She had earlier appeared before the agency for questioning and claimed in her statement recorded in 2021, that she had received gifts like three designer bags, two Gucci outfits for gym wear, a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes, two pairs of diamond earrings and others from Chandrashekhar.
