The legal woes for Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez seem to be escalating as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) alleges that she has tampered with and destroyed crucial evidence related to Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s money laundering case. According to reports, the ED has filed an affidavit against Jacqueline, asserting that she was well aware of Sukesh’s criminal activities and benefitted from the ill-gotten gains, enjoying both money and lavish gifts.
ED’s Accusations and Claims
The ED accuses Jacqueline of not cooperating truthfully in the investigation and suggests that she wiped clean all data from her mobile phone following Sukesh’s arrest. The enforcement agency further alleges that she instructed her colleagues to destroy evidence. The statement from the ED reads, “She also asked her colleagues to destroy the evidence. Evidence proves beyond doubt that she had been enjoying, using, and has proceeds of crime. Thus, it is proved that Fernandez was knowingly involved in the possession and use of proceeds of crime of accused Chandrasekhar.”
Impact on Jacqueline’s Career
Jacqueline Fernandez had recently filed a plea claiming no evidence against her. However, the latest accusation by the ED is likely to have repercussions on her acting career. The ED’s claims suggest her active involvement in the possession and use of proceeds of crime, which could significantly impact her professional standing.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s Response
Sukesh Chandrashekhar, the conman at the center of the money laundering case, has reportedly threatened to leak private chats between him and Jacqueline. He claims to possess the original drive from WhatsApp cloud data, which he is willing to provide for investigation purposes. The private leaked pictures of Jacqueline and Sukesh had previously stirred controversy on the internet.
