Decision on Jacqueline's bail today: The actress told the court – ED only harassed me

The decision on the bail plea of ​​Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez in the money laundering case will come today i.e. on November 11. A hearing, in this case, was held in Delhi's Patiala House Court on Thursday. During this, Jacqueline also reached the court.
Jacqueline had said in the court that I have fully cooperated with the investigating agency in this matter. I myself surrendered in this case, but ED has only bothered me. On this, the ED had said that they have enough evidence against Jacqueline, so they should not be given regular bail.
Jacqueline had said during the hearing in the court, 'I keep going abroad in connection with my work, but I was stopped from going abroad. I am not even allowed to meet my family members. I had emailed the investigating agency about all these things, but that too did not get answered. She alleged that I am about to leave the country. Then they stopped me by issuing LOC (look out circular). All the allegations of ED are baseless.
On behalf of the ED, the lawyer said, 'Jacqueline is a foreign national. His family lives in Sri Lanka. Jacqueline also tried to escape in December 2021. On October 22, the Patiala House Court, while hearing the bail plea, granted interim bail to Jacqueline.
The ED had opposed the bail decision even then. The agency had alleged that Jacqueline never cooperated in the investigation, all the revelations were made only after the evidence came to the fore. The ED also said that she had tried hard to escape from India, but could not do so due to the issue of LOC.
At the beginning of the case, there were a lot of rumours about the relationship between Jacqueline and Sukesh. There were reports that while dating Sukesh, she received many expensive gifts from Sukesh.
Cats and a horse were involved. The cost of a Persian cat is 9 lakh rupees. At the same time, the price of the horse has been stated to be Rs 52 lakh.
Apart from this, Sukesh proposed to her by giving her a diamond ring. J and S were made in this ring. Sukesh had also sent Rs 3 crore to Jacqueline's fashion designer Lipakshi's account. With this money, Lipakshi delivered designer clothes, cars and gifts of Jacqueline's choice to her. During the interrogation of ED, Jacqueline confessed to her relationship and receiving gifts.
Last year, the ED had filed a charge sheet against Sukesh Chandrashekhar and others in a money laundering case of Rs 200 crore. According to the allegation, Sukesh had cheated former Ranbaxy promoters Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh from their wives of more than 200 crores on the pretext of getting them out of jail while serving their sentence in Tihar Jail.
ED has also recorded Jacqueline's statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. According to ED, Jacqueline is an important witness in Sukesh's extortion case of Rs 200 crore.
