Today, Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez approaches the Delhi High Court, seeking to quash an FIR lodged against her amidst the Enforcement Directorate's investigation into a purported Rs 200 crore money laundering case linked to Sukesh Chandrasekhar, an alleged conman.

The upcoming hearing this week involves a petition that not only aims to nullify the FIR but also seeks to quash the second supplementary charge sheet presented by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

The petition further aims to halt any ongoing proceedings related to the case that are currently pending before a trial court.

In her plea, Fernandez strongly argues that the evidence presented by the ED actually portrays her as an innocent victim of a deliberate scheme orchestrated by Sukesh Chandrasekhar.

She firmly maintains that there is no evidence suggesting her participation in any way to assist Chandrasekhar in laundering allegedly illegitimate funds. The petition specifically challenges the accusations made against her under Sections 3 and 4 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

In her plea, she highlights that the prosecution complaint against her does not allege any knowledge on her part regarding Chandrasekhar's activities. It emphasizes her role as a prosecution witness in the predicate offence and underscores her lack of knowledge about the alleged offences.

The petition strongly argues that once Fernandez was presented as a prosecution witness in the initial offense, any further legal actions stemming from that initial offense should be dismissed. It alleges that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) demonstrated bias by naming her as an accused while absolving others, notably actress Nora Fatehi, from involvement in the matter. This purportedly selective treatment suggests an unfair approach to handling the case.

The plea asserts that Nora Fatehi allegedly received gifts from Sukesh Chandrasekhar, categorized as 'dissipation of proceeds of crime,' yet she hasn't been implicated as an accused in the case. This differential treatment, as per the petition, indicates a biased and potentially malicious investigation specifically targeting Fernandez.

Jacqueline Fernandez is implicated in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving Chandrasekhar. She has already cooperated with the Enforcement Directorate (ED), appearing for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation.

Chandrasekhar and his wife, Leena Paulose, are currently involved in legal proceedings related to a money laundering case initiated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Previously, the Delhi Police filed an FIR against Chandrasekhar for allegedly deceiving the spouses of former Ranbaxy promoters, Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh, in a case involving an amount of Rs 200 crore.

The Couple was arrested by the Delhi Police, and the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) has been applied to the case. Law enforcement officials claim that hawala routes and shell companies were utilized to conceal and transfer funds obtained from illicit activities in this instance.
