Jacqueline Fernandez, quizzed by ED in money laundering case, was victim of racket: Reports
Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez was a victim of a 200-crore racket, several media reports claimed after she was quizzed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the money laundering case.
The money laundering probe is in connection with an alleged multi-crore extortion racket operated by one Sukesh Chandrashekar, who is also an accused in a bribery case involving the Election Commission.
It is learnt Jacqueline was a victim of the same racket.
"She (Jacqueline) is not an accused, but is being examined as a witness in the case against conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar," NDTV reported quoting sources in the Enforcement Directorate.
On Aug 24, the ED had conducted raids and seized a sea-facing bungalow in Chennai, Rs. 82.5 lakh cash and over a dozen luxurious cars in connection with the money laundering probe against Chandrashekar.
The case is based on an FIR of the Delhi police's economic offences wing against him and others in a range of matters involving alleged criminal conspiracy, cheating and extortion to the tune of about Rs. 200 crore.
