The Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has yet again come into the limelight with respect to a very important case involving the charge of ₹200 crore money laundering, which revolves around the alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. According to a recent court order, the framing of charges is being made against the accused persons, including Jacqueline Fernandez and Sukesh Chandrasekhar, in the matter. The case has now been put on record for June 3, which may be an important date in the context of charging the accused parties with trial proceedings starting henceforth.

What Makes June 3 Special?
Based on information from court hearings, it is said that all the accused have been instructed by the court to be present at court proceedings on June 3 to formally frame charges against them. After charges are framed formally, the entire case will start its journey in a very high-profile financial crime case involving people from Bollywood. The court also made it clear that enough material was available in the court records for a strong suspicion about the accused, which paved the way for the case.
What Are The Allegations Against Jacqueline Fernandez?
The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is investigating the money laundering aspect of the case, has alleged that Jacqueline Fernandez received expensive gifts from Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who is accused of running an extortion racket worth over ₹200 crore. Investigators have claimed that luxury items, financial benefits, and gifts were allegedly provided to the actor through associates linked to Sukesh.
ED Opposed Jacqueline’s Approver Plea
In a major development earlier this year, Jacqueline Fernandez had sought to become an approver in the case. However, the Enforcement Directorate opposed the move and argued that she was not merely a witness but had allegedly benefited from the proceeds linked to the alleged crime.
