Jacqueline Fernandez's Plea Rejected In Money Laundering Case

The Delhi High Court has rejected Jacqueline Fernandez’s request to be removed from the ₹200-crore money laundering case linked to conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, clearing the way for her to stand trial.

The actress, out on bail, had sought to quash the ED’s chargesheet and trial proceedings, claiming she was unaware of Sukesh’s criminal background despite accepting lavish gifts. The court, however, ruled she must face trial. Sukesh remains in jail, accused of fraud and money laundering via hawala and shell firms.
