Jacqueline Fernandez Faces Tough Questions Over Lavish Gifts From Conman Sukesh Chandrashekar.
Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez finds herself embroiled in a high-profile legal battle, as the Delhi High Court seeks to unravel the mystery behind the lavish gifts she received from conman Sukesh Chandrashekar, who is currently imprisoned for fraud and money laundering.
While Fernandez has distanced herself from Chandrashekar, claiming that she had no knowledge of his illicit activities when they were romantically involved, the court has asked her to explain the source of all the extravagant gifts he showered upon her.
The actor’s team has now challenged the charge sheet filed against her in this case, maintaining that she had no idea where Chandrashekar had obtained the money for these gifts.
Justice Anish Dayal of the Delhi High Court has raised an intriguing question, asking “Whether there is a duty upon an adult person to know the source of the gift one receives.”
Fernandez’s counsel, led by senior advocate Siddharth Agrawal, along with Prashant Patil and Shakti Pandey, has asserted that the actress cut all ties with Chandrashekar as soon as the money laundering case was initiated against him.
The case has now been listed for further arguments on November 26, as the court seeks to determine the extent of Jacqueline Fernandez’s culpability, if any, in the alleged money laundering scheme orchestrated by the incarcerated conman.
The outcome of this high-profile legal battle is sure to have far-reaching implications, not only for the actress but also for the broader discourse on the responsibilities of gift recipients in such complex financial crimes.
