Delhi Court Allows Jacqueline Fernandez to Travel Abroad Amid Money Laundering Case

New Delhi: A Delhi court has granted permission to popular Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez to travel abroad from May 25 to June 12. The court’s decision came in the midst of an ongoing money laundering case in which Fernandez is involved, along with the alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekar.

Special Judge Shailendra Malik, after considering Fernandez’s application, approved her travel plans. Initially, the actress will be attending the prestigious IIFA Awards in Abu Dhabi from May 25 to May 27. Subsequently, she will proceed to Milan, Italy, from May 28 to June 12, where she is required for the shooting of a film.

It is important to note that while Fernandez is an accused in the money laundering case, she was not arrested. The case was initiated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) based on an FIR filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police. The allegations revolve around Sukesh Chandrasekar, who is accused of cheating and extorting money from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Religare Enterprises promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh.

Chandrasekhar, along with his associates, allegedly posed as government officials and convinced Aditi to transfer money by promising to secure her husband’s bail. Notably, this deceitful act occurred while Chandrasekhar was incarcerated in Rohini jail and impersonated a central government official through a spoof call.

The court’s decision to allow her to travel abroad temporarily acknowledges her professional commitments and provides her with an opportunity to fulfil her obligations while the legal proceedings continue.
