Jacqueline Fernandes suffered a legal setback as a Delhi court was against her leaving abroad, following which she withdrew her plea to go abroad. Jacqueline Fernandez will star alongside Ranveer Singh and Pooja Hegde in Cirkus. She is currently under investigation by government investigators. This is due to her alleged involvement in a money laundering case of Rs 200 crore. The 37-year-old actress has starred in many well-known films. Examples include Race 2, Housefull 2, Kick, and Judwaa 2.
After the judge stated that the charge should be first settled, the actor informed the court of her choice. “You can withdraw the application and let the question of charge first be decided. Otherwise, I will pass a judicial order,” the judge warned.
Following a conversation with her attorneys, the star notified the court that she was dropping her motion “at this stage”.
The Enforcement Directorate argued against her at the hearing, claiming that “if she is allowed to go abroad she may not return.”
“She is a foreign national. Though she has her career here, she can make her career somewhere else (also),” the anti-money laundering agency said.
In this case, the next hearing date is January 6.
Fernandez has been under investigation for her alleged involvement in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case. The case is at the Delhi High Court since December 2021. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting the inquiry and questioned Fernandez. The Enforcement Directorate listed Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused in August of this year. Alleged con man Sukesh Chandrashekhar is the prime accused in the case.
