Jacqueline Fernandez Faces Setback! Delhi HC Junks Plea to Quash FIR in ₹200 Crore Money Laundering Case
- The Delhi High Court dismissed Jacqueline Fernandez's plea on July 3, rejecting her attempt to quash the ₹200 crore money laundering FIR against her linked to Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
- The plea sought to invalidate the ED's supplementary chargesheet and contest the ongoing trial, but the special court had already acknowledged the charges and established a prima facie case.
- Fernandez, accused of receiving expensive gifts from Chandrasekhar, claimed she was unaware of his illegal activities and was a victim of his fraudulent schemes involving spoof calls to her makeup artist.
- The ED counsel contended that the petition was intended to delay the case and emphasized that since the court’s decision to take cognizance has not been disputed, raising objections to the prosecution’s complaint is not permissible.
- The dismissal allows the money laundering case to proceed, reflecting ongoing investigations into Chandrasekhar's broader criminal and financial fraud activities across India.
