Jaqueline Fernandez tried to flee India, tamper evidence: ED
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Saturday told a Delhi court that Jaqueline Fernandez tried to destroy evidence and flee India while being investigated in Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving jailed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
The ED's allegation came as it opposed Jaqueline Fernandez's bail plea, adding that she failed in her escape attempt as her name is on the "lookout notice". The probe agency said that the actor tampered with evidence during the investigation by deleting data from her mobile phone.
It also alleged that Fernandez wasn't cooperating with the investigators.
The court extended the actor's interim bail till November 10 in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Special Judge Shailendra Malik after extending the interim protection to Fernandez directed the investigating agency to supply a copy of chargesheet and other documents to the accused person and adjourned the matter for further hearing on November 10.
The Special Court after hearing arguments on behalf of the Prosecution and Defence Counsel granted bail to Fernandez on September 26 with the condition of furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000.
In this matter, the Special Court had taken cognizance of the supplementary charge sheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate in which Fernandez was first time named as an accused. After taking cognizance of ED, the court directed Fernandez to appear before it.
ED has alleged that Fernandez after examination submitted that she had received expensive gifts from conman Sukesh Chandrashekar.
