A Delhi courtroom became the centre of attention on Saturday as Bollywood star Jacqueline Fernandez was ordered to face charges in connection with a high-profile money laundering case tied to Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Ever since the scandal surfaced, Jacqueline has insisted she was misled and portrayed herself as a victim. The judge, however, pointed to evidence suggesting she accepted lavish gifts from Chandrasekhar despite knowing about his criminal background. Additional Sessions Judge Prashant Sharma at Patiala House Court ruled that all accused must stand trial in the ₹200 crore extortion and laundering case. In his remarks, the judge highlighted Jacqueline’s alleged role, stating, “She was in connivance with Sukesh Chandrasekhar to conceal the use of proceeds of crime (POC).” He further observed, “I conclude that prima facie there is sufficient material on record, raising a strong suspicion that the accused Jacqueline Fernandez committed the offence under section 3 of PMLA, punishable under section 4 of PMLA.”
