Jacqueline Fernandez Delhi Court allows Jacqueline Fernandez to go abroad for professional commitment
New Delhi: A Delhi Court permitted Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, an accused in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case, to travel to Dubai for the Pepsico India Conference.
Additional Sessions Judge Shailender Malik after hearing arguments and counter-arguments of Fernandez’s counsel and the Enforcement Directorate allowed her to travel to Dubai from January 27 to 30 to fulfill her professional commitments.
The court ordered Fernandez to deposit Rs 1 crore and directed the actor to report on her return.
Jacqueline is on regular bail with the condition that she will not leave the country without the permission of the court.
Jacqueline’s lawyer submitted the application seeking permission for travel, stating that she is a Sri Lankan national and belongs to the Bollywood fraternity and holds a good name in India’s film industry.
Her counsel argued that the actor has always cooperated with the investigation and is ready to abide by any conditions that the Court may deem fit to impose after allowing the permission in the interest of justice.
Opposing the application, Enforce Directorate urged the court to dismiss the application as the matter is at the crucial stage of hearing.
Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police has lodged a First Information Report (FIR) against conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who is accused of cheating and extorting Aditi Singh, wife of the former promoter of Religare Enterprises Shivinder Mohan Singh.
Shivinder Mohan Singh was arrested in October 2019 in a case related to the alleged misappropriation of funds at Religare Finvest Ltd.
Allegedly, Chandrasekhar and his associates extorted money from Aditi after posing as government officials and promising to get bail for her husband.
Chandrasekhar and his wife Leena Maria Paul were arrested by the Delhi Police for their alleged role in the duping case.
Delhi Police has alleged that Mumbai-based Pinky Irani is a close aide of Chandrashekhar and introduced him to Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez.
