The Supreme Court rejected actress Jacqueline Fernandez's appeal Monday regarding a Rs 200 crore fraud investigation connected to conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Her legal challenge targeted the Delhi High Court's earlier decision that upheld an Enforcement Directorate FIR against her in the money laundering matter. The actress maintains her position as a victim rather than a participant in the alleged scheme. Court documents reveal she received luxury items valued at approximately Rs 7 crore from Chandrasekhar. She continues asserting her ignorance about his criminal activities.
The Delhi High Court previously determined that questions about criminal intent and awareness require examination during formal trial proceedings. Fernandez argued that the Enforcement Directorate's evidence demonstrates Chandrasekhar's targeted manipulation of multiple entertainment industry figures. The original case centers on allegations that Chandrasekhar defrauded the spouses of former Ranbaxy executives Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh. Authorities claim Tihar jail officials provided Chandrasekhar unauthorized access to communication devices. The Supreme Court's decision maintains the ongoing legal proceedings against the actress.1
