The Delhi High Court on Thursday rejected Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez’s plea seeking to quash the FIR filed against her in the high-profile ₹200 crore money laundering case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Justice Anish Dayal dismissed her petition, which also aimed to nullify the second supplementary chargesheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the ongoing proceedings in a Delhi trial court.
The ED’s counsel argued against her plea on the grounds of maintainability, noting that a special court had already taken cognisance of the chargesheet and found prima facie evidence to proceed. They further pointed out that the cognisance order itself had not been challenged by Fernandez.
Jacqueline Fernandez has been named as an accused in the money laundering case connected to Chandrasekhar and has already appeared before the ED for questioning. The Delhi Police initially booked Sukesh Chandrasekhar for allegedly duping the wives of former Ranbaxy promoters Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh of ₹200 crore.
The case against Chandrasekhar is part of a broader investigation involving multiple criminal allegations across the country. He and his wife, Leena Paulose, are facing legal proceedings in several ED-led money laundering probes. They were both arrested by Delhi Police under charges that include violations of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). The couple, along with other accused individuals, is alleged to have laundered money through hawala channels and shell companies, using the proceeds from their criminal activities.
