Money laundering case: Court allows Jacqueline Fernandez to travel to Dubai for an event 

A relief for actor Jacqueline Fernandez in the ₹200 crore fraud case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The Patiala House Court in Delhi on Friday allowed Jacqueline to travel to Dubai from January 27 until January 30.

According to Times Now, the court gave her permission to catch the flight after taking note of her statement that it was a professional commitment.

Jacqueline Fernandez will be attending a conference by PepsiCo in Dubai. She is scheduled to perform at the event, and if she fails to show up, the organisers may take legal action against her, the Patiala House Court was told.

The plea was opposed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which said Jacqueline Fernandez had not put forth any contractual obligations on record. However, the court decided to let her travel to Dubai.

Last month, Fernandez withdrew her application seeking permission to travel to Bahrain to meet her parents after a Delhi court and the ED objected to the plea.

Jacqueline is being investigated by the ED for the connections she had with conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is accused of extorting money from politicians, celebrities and businessmen. He also allegedly duped pharma company Ranbaxy's former owner Shivinder Mohan Singh's wife Aditi Singh of Rs 200 crore.

The jailed conman had allegedly sent expensive gifts to Jacqueline.
