Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez has filed an application in a Delhi court to become an approver in a ₹200 crore (approximately $24 million USD) money laundering case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. The court, presided over by special judge Prashant Sharma, has issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding her plea, with the next hearing set for April 20. If her request is granted, Fernandez will be required to disclose all pertinent information about the case and co-accused in exchange for a potential pardon or reduced sentence. The case alleges that Chandrasekhar and his associates extorted ₹200 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Ranbaxy promoter Shivender Singh, by impersonating a high-ranking government official. The ED claims that Fernandez received gifts worth over ₹7 crore (approximately $840,000 USD) from the proceeds of this crime. Despite being named in the investigation, Fernandez's legal team asserts that she was unaware of Chandrasekhar's criminal activities. The trial is currently in the argument stage regarding charges, with the ED's investigation ongoing under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crimes Act (MCOCA).
