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 “Kick”, “Bhoot Police” and most recently “Vikrant Rona”, 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.
