The court said the accused laundered more than ₹200 crore through extortion, cheating and shell entities, and used the money for property and luxury gifts.

  • On Saturday, May 30, 2026, a Delhi court ordered the framing of charges against actor Jacqueline Fernandez, alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar, and 15 others in a ₹200-crore money laundering case.
  • The Enforcement Directorate alleged the accused generated proceeds of crime exceeding ₹200 crore through extortion, impersonation, and criminal intimidation from inside jail, routing funds through hawala channels.
  • ASJ Prashant Sharma stated, "Prima facie, there is sufficient material on record based upon which a strong suspicion is raised against all accused," citing collected "incriminating" digital evidence and WhatsApp communications.
  • The court scheduled the formal signing of charges for June 3, 2026, directing all 15 co-accused to appear physically in court at 2 PM.
