Bollywood
actor
Jacqueline
Fernandez
reportedly
is
being
questioned
as
a
witness
in
a
money
laundering
case
by
Enforcement
Directorate.
The
reports
revealed
that
the
alleged
multi-crore
extortion
racket
was
run
by
a
known
conman
Sukesh
Chandrashekar.
Sources
at
the
ED
told
NDTV,
that
Jacqueline
is
not
involved
in
the
case.
"She
is
not
an
accused,
but
is
being
examined
as
a
witness
in
the
case
against
conman
Sukesh
Chandrasekhar," the
source
was
quoted
saying.
The
agency
raided
and
seized
a
sea-facing
bungalow
in
Chennai
on
August
24,
2021
and
found
Rs
82.5
lakh
cash,
and
over
a
dozen
luxurious
cars
in
connection
with
the
money
laundering
case
against
Chandrashekar.
"Sukesh
Chandrasekhar
is
the
mastermind
of
this
fraud.
He
has
been
a
part
of
the
crime
world
since
the
age
of
17.
He
has
multiple
FIRs
against
him
and
is
presently
lodged
at
the
Rohini
jail," the
Enforcement
Directorate
said
in
the
statement
after
the
last
week's
raid.
The
report
also
said
an
amount
of
Rs
1.3
crore
was
allegedly
seized
from
his
possession
at
the
time
of
his
arrest.
The
investigation
began
after
an
FIR
was
filed
with
the
Delhi
police's
economic
offences
wing
against
him.
The
complaint
was
filed
based
on
alleged
criminal
conspiracy,
cheating,
and
extortion
to
the
tune
of
about
Rs
200
crore.
