Jacqueline Fernandez to Face Charges in Rs 200 Crore Extortion Case

A Delhi court has taken a significant step in the high-profile ₹200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. On Saturday, the Patiala House court directed the framing of charges against Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, Sukesh Chandrasekhar, and several others involved in the matter.

The case revolves around allegations of a massive extortion racket. According to the investigation, the money was allegedly extorted from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh. The court’s decision marks a major turning point, meaning that the accused will now officially stand trial for their alleged roles in the scam.

Along with Jacqueline and Sukesh, charges are also being framed against Sukesh's wife Leena Maria Paul and other individuals linked to the case. While a detailed written order is still awaited from the bench, the court has summoned all the accused persons to appear on June 3 for the formal framing of charges.

This development follows a long series of investigations by central agencies into how the extorted money was laundered and whether the Bollywood star was a beneficiary of the proceeds of crime. Jacqueline Fernandez has been under the scanner for a while, with the Enforcement Directorate alleging that she received expensive gifts from Sukesh despite knowing about his criminal activities.

With the court set to proceed with the trial next month, all eyes are now on June 3 to see how the legal battle unfolds for the actors and the alleged mastermind in one of the most talked-about criminal cases in recent years.
