Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has withdrawn her plea to become an approver in the Sukesh Chandrashekhar money laundering case, which she filed last month in the Patiala House Court in Delhi. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) opposed her request, stating that she was a significant beneficiary of the alleged crime and an active participant in the money laundering scheme under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The case involves Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is accused of running a ₹200 crore (approximately $24 million USD) extortion racket targeting high-profile individuals, including the family of former Ranbaxy promoters. The ED claims that Fernandez received expensive gifts worth several crores from Chandrashekhar, which are suspected to be proceeds of crime. Despite these allegations, Fernandez maintains that she was unaware of the illicit origins of the gifts. The ongoing case has seen various developments, including repeated questioning of Fernandez by the ED and public interest due to Chandrashekhar's claims from jail. Professionally, Fernandez is preparing for her return to the Cannes Film Festival and will also star in the upcoming film Welcome to the Jungle alongside Akshay Kumar.
