Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez has once again missed a scheduled appearance before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in a money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. This marks the fourth consecutive time she has failed to appear.
Chandrashekhar is accused of using illegal funds to buy expensive gifts for Fernandez. Despite being summoned multiple times, Fernandez's legal team has cited health issues for her absence. The ED is expected to issue a new summons soon.
The 38-year-old actor, who is of Sri Lankan origin, has previously been questioned several times by the ED. Chandrashekhar is accused of defrauding prominent individuals, including Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh, of approximately Rs 200 crore.
Fernandez has consistently maintained her innocence, claiming no knowledge of Chandrashekhar's alleged criminal activities. The ED, having obtained new information in the case, is determined to question her further.
