NewDelhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday named actress Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused in the Rs 215 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.

Jacqueline Fernandez’s name cropped up in the case after her pictures with Sukesh Chandrashekhar surfaced. While Jacqueline Fernandez initially denied involvement with the conman, Sukesh Chandrashekhar told the ED that they were dating each other.

The court has set August 31 as the next date of hearing to take cognisance of the ED‘s charge sheet against Jacqueline Fernandez in the extortion case.

Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who has been involved in extorting hundreds of crores from businessmen, politicians, and celebrities, is accused of extorting Rs 215 crore in one year from a businessman’s wife over spoof calls while he was lodged in a Delhi jail.
