The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday named actor Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused in the money laundering case against conman Sukesh Chandrashekar, who is facing charges in a `200 crore extortion case. The ED has named her as accused in a supplementary charge sheet.
After being chargesheeted, the actor shared a post on her social media page saying she will remain “strong†in these testing times. The agency filed the fresh (second supplementary) charge sheet or prosecution complaint in the case before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court here.
While Fernandez did not directly comment on the case or the charge sheet, she re-shared an anonymous motivational quote on her Instagram stories.
“Dear me, I deserve all good things, I’m powerful, I accept myself. It’ll all be ok. I’m strong. I’ll achieve my goals and dreams. I can do it (sic),†reads the post.
The 36-year-old actor, famous for films like “Kickâ€, “Bhoot Police'' and most recently “Vikrant Ronaâ€, is the only accused named in the latest chargesheet.
Earlier, the agency had questioned her multiple times in this case, the last done in June. Fernandez, a Sri Lankan national, debuted in the Hindi film industry in 2009.
The agency in April provisionally attached `7.27 crore funds of the actor under the PMLA besides `15 lakh cash as the agency dubbed these funds as “proceeds of crime†under PMLA.
