Supreme Court to Hear Jacqueline Fernandez's Plea Against Money Laundering ChargesPreviousNext

Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez has filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging a Delhi court's May 30 order framing charges against her in a ₹200 crore money laundering case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Fernandez's lawyer highlighted the complexity as she is both a prosecution witness in the scheduled offence and an accused under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The Supreme Court will hear the plea on Thursday. Fernandez had earlier sought approver status but withdrew the application after opposition from the Enforcement Directorate.
