In the extortion case against conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached Jacqueline Fernandez's assets worth ₹7.27 crore as per a report by ANI. Fixed deposits of ₹7.12 crore of Jacqueline Fernandez are among the assets attached.

Sukesh allegedly gave Jacqueline gifts worth ₹5.71 crore using the extorted money, according to the ED. He also gave roughly 173,000 US Dollars and around 27,000 Australian Dollars to her close family members.
