A Delhi court has ordered framing of money laundering charges against Sukesh Chandrashekar and 16 others, including Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, in a ₹200 crore extortion case.
Special judge Prashant Sharma of the Patiala House court also ordered framing of charges under section 3 (organised crime) and 4 (possessing unaccountable wealth on behalf of organised crime syndicate) of MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crimes Act) against Chandrashekar and 21 others in the case lodged by the Delhi Police Crime Branch.
The court has summoned all the accused — 40 in total in both cases — on June 3 for formal framing of charges.
The court highlighted 36 pieces of crucial evidence against Chandrashekar, including testimonies, call detail records and chats recovered from phones of the complainant and the accused, to state that it “indicated the generation of proceeds of crime to the tune of ₹215 crores from Aditi Singh and the modus operandi of laundering the money”.
The court further held that an equal prima facie suspicion is drawn from the evidence on record against Jacqueline Fernandez.
