Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez is set to face trial in connection with the ₹200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, according to multiple credible media reports.

The case is being investigated by India’s financial crime agency, the Enforcement Directorate(ED). Authorities have accused Sukesh Chandrasekhar of running a large-scale extortion racket while being lodged in jail, allegedly targeting high-profile individuals and businessmen.

As per the ED’s chargesheet, Jacqueline Fernandez is accused of receiving expensive gifts from Sukesh, including luxury items and large sums of money. Investigators claim that these gifts were proceeds of crime, making her a beneficiary in the case. However, Jacqueline has consistently denied any wrongdoing and maintains that she was unaware of Sukesh’s alleged illegal activities.

The Delhi court has now taken cognisance of the charges, which means the case has moved forward to the trial stage. This development marks a significant step in the long-running investigation that has been in the spotlight for the past few years.

Jacqueline had earlier approached the court seeking relief and dismissal of charges, arguing that she was misled by Sukesh. Despite her claims, the court has decided that there is enough material to proceed with the trial.

The case continues to attract major public attention, given the involvement of a well-known Bollywood figure. As the trial begins, all eyes will be on how the legal proceedings unfold in the coming months.
