Not too long ago we reported that Jacqueline Fernandez has been filed as an accused in the chargesheet submitted by the Enforcement Directorate. However, the actress has responded to it in a plea before the Appellate Authority of PMLA stating that while she has been named as an accused in the Sukesh Chandrashekhar Rs. 200 crore extortion case, some other celebrities like Nora Fatehi have been named as a witness in the chargesheet. She further alleged that just like the other celebrities, she too was conned by the main accused Sukesh in the case.
For the uninitiated, Jacqueline Fernandez was named as an accused in the chargesheet filed after the ED received documents claiming that the actress was a recipient of gifts and assets worth Rs. 7 crores from the Sukesh Chandra and his accomplice. Reportedly, the ED also submitted proof that along with the actress, her family too were recipients of financial favours from the conman. Besides Jacqueline, names of some celebrities like Nora Fatehi too came into limelight, as she too had allegedly been one of the recipients of gifts from Sukesh. However, while Nora has been named as a witness in the case, earlier this month, Jacqueline was named as one of the accused.
