అసలు …ఢిల్లీ నిజాముద్దీన్‌లో ఏం జరిగింది? | Corona Alert LIVE | Telangana LIVE Updates

A Delhi court on Friday directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to submit its response to a petition filed by actor Jacqueline Fernandez, in which she has sought to become an approver in the ongoing ₹200 crore money laundering case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar. Special Judge Prashant Sharma issued notices to the agency and scheduled the next hearing for April 20.

Jacqueline Fernandez, who has been questioned multiple times by the ED during the investigation, was officially named as an accused for the first time in a supplementary charge sheet filed by the agency in the case. Her latest plea marks a significant development in the high-profile money laundering probe.

Earlier, on July 3 last year, the Delhi High Court had dismissed her petition challenging the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) registered in the matter. Subsequently, the Supreme Court also declined to intervene, upholding the High Court’s decision.

The case originates from allegations that Sukesh Chandrashekar duped the wives of former Ranbaxy promoters Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh, amounting to nearly ₹200 crore. The investigation has led to multiple arrests and interconnected cases across the country.

Chandrashekar and his wife Leena Paulose, along with several others, were arrested by Delhi Police and are also facing proceedings under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). Investigators allege that the accused used hawala networks and shell companies to launder proceeds of crime.

The case continues to unfold, with multiple legal proceedings still pending across different courts.
