Jacqueline Fernandez Tells Court She Was Oblivious To Illegal Origin Of Gifts From Sukesh Chandrashekar

Jacqueline Fernandez is accused of receiving gifts from Sukesh Chandrashekar. The presents were allegedly part of a Rs. 200 crore money laundering case. The actress stated earlier that she had no connection with Sukesh anymore and did not know about his criminal activities when they were in a relationship.

During the hearing for the case on November 13, Jacqueline’s lawyers defended her by stating she was unaware that the gifts she received from Sukesh were bought with illegal money. Sukesh allegedly purchased the items through the money he extorted from Aditi Singh. Jacqueline’s counsel includes senior advocate Siddharth Agrawal, Prashant Patil, and Shakti Pandey. “It is also not the case of ED that she was aware that gifts she received were part of proceeds of crime,” the counsel said in the court.
