The Patiala House court has directed the framing of charges against Sukesh Chandrasekhar, Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, and several others in a money laundering case linked to an alleged extortion of Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh. The Additional Sessions Judge, Prashant Sharma, stated that there is sufficient evidence to raise strong suspicion against the accused. Charges will be formally signed on June 3, and all accused must appear before the court. Jacqueline Fernandez, although not an accused in the extortion case, has been named in a supplementary charge sheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
