Delhi High Court to Hear Jacqueline Fernandez Plea

The Delhi High Court has scheduled a hearing for September 18 regarding actress Jacqueline Fernandez's plea to quash a money laundering charge sheet linked to a ₹200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Fernandez, who has been embroiled in legal complications over her alleged involvement since a 2022 chargesheet named her, maintains her innocence, asserting she was unaware of Chandrasekhar's criminal background. Her legal team argues there is insufficient evidence against her and that she has been unfairly targeted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The ED claims that Chandrasekhar used 'proceeds of crime' to shower Fernandez with gifts, while her defense contends that she merely received these gifts without knowledge of their origins. The case has attracted significant media attention, with the actress having faced multiple rounds of questioning by the ED over the past two years. The outcome of the September 18 hearing could significantly impact Fernandez's legal standing and public image.
