Actor Jacqueline Fernandez's bail plea was heard by a Delhi court on Saturday, and during the hearing ED informed the court that the actor tried to flee from the country to escape from the money laundering case that involves jailed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
According to reports, additional sessions judge Shailender Malik said that the reply on Jacqueline's bail plea was already filed by the ED. However, her lawyers argued that she didn`t receive any document from the probing agency. The court then deferred the matter for November 10 and asked ED to provide chargesheet and other documents to all parties.
ED also alleged that the actor tampered with evidence while the case was being investigated. They said she deleted data from her cell phone. ED also said that she wanted to leave India but couldn't as her name was on the look-out circular (LOC).
'ED has opposed actor Jacqueline Fernandez's bail plea. The agency has said that Fernandez never cooperated with probe, only made disclosure when confronted with evidence. ED also says that she made an abortive bid to flee India but couldn't do it due to the issuance of LOC.
Further, the agency said that the actress did not cooperate with the investigators. Her behaviour was not good during the investigation. She can damage the evidence and witnesses. Whenever she was made to sit face-to-face with other accused in the case and presented with evidence, she confessed her crime,' India TV quoted the ED as saying. ED also said, `Jacqueline is no ordinary person but a Bollywood actress with huge financial resources and hence high stature and influence.`
ED had earlier said that Jacqueline Fernandez as well as Nora Fatehi has received luxurious gifts including cars from Sukesh.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar is currently in jail in a money laundering case. He has allegedly cheated several people including Aditi Singh, who is former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh`s wife.
