Jacqueline Fernandez seeks permission to travel, attends court for money laundering case

Actor Jacqueline Fernandez arrived at Delhi's Patiala House Court on Tuesday in connection with the ₹200 crores money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. According to news agency ANI, she has applied for permission to travel to Bahrain on December 23. The court has directed the application to Enforcement Directorate (ED) who is yet to reply in the matter.

‘Actor Jacqueline Fernandes moves an application seeking permission to travel to Bahrain from December 23. The court directed ED to file a reply and listed the matter for December 22,’ tweeted ANI.

Actor Nora Fatehi filed defamation lawsuit against Jacqueline in connection with ₹200 crore extortion case earlier this month. In her plea, she accused Jacqueline and a few media organisations for allegedly ‘trying to tarnish her reputation’.

Nora said in her defamation suit, ‘It has started to become evident that the aforementioned rivals being unable to compete with the Complainant fairly in the industry have started to try and tarnish her reputation which would cause her loss of work.’

Jacqueline’s lawyer, advocate Prashant Patil defended her and said that his client has never said anything in public about Nora and she has consciously avoided talking about the Enforcement Directorate proceedings.

‘Till date she has maintained the sanctity of law and because the matter is sub-judice she has always avoided to speak in front of print and social media. Having said that, we have not received any official copy of the suit filed by Nora. Once we receive an official confirmation or an order of the Honourable Court, we will respond to it legally,’ he said.

Jacqueline Fernandez was granted bail on a personal bond of ₹2 lakh by the court in the ₹200-crore money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekar.
