Jacqueline Fernandes Seeks to Turn Approver in ₹200 Crore Money Laundering Case; Court Grants Permission to Travel
The court sought the Enforcement Directorate’s response as Fernandez asked to become an approver in the money-laundering case and was allowed foreign travel.
- On Friday, Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez filed a plea in New Delhi's Patiala House Court seeking permission to turn approver in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
- The Enforcement Directorate's case stems from an Economic Offences Wing investigation into allegations that Sukesh allegedly extorted Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh, wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh, by posing as the law secretary.
- Turning approver allows an accused to assist the prosecution as a witness in exchange for potential pardon under Section 306 of the CrPC, provided they make full disclosure of the facts.
- Additional Sessions Judge Prashant Sharma issued notice to the Enforcement Directorate requesting a response by April 20, while separately granting Fernandez permission to travel to Dubai, Sri Lanka, and Kyrgyzstan from April 24 to May 25.
- The court scheduled the next hearing for April 20 to review the Enforcement Directorate's position on this high-profile matter, one of 31 cases lodged against Sukesh.
