‘Not an unwitting victim’: ED opposes Jacqueline Fernandez’s plea to turn approver in case against conman Sukesh

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has opposed actress Jacqueline Fernandez's plea to become an approver in the ₹200-crore money laundering case linked to conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. The ED argues that Fernandez actively benefited from crime proceeds and now seeks to evade prosecution. It claims she stayed in constant touch with Chandrasekhar despite knowing his criminal background and received gifts from laundered funds. The agency describes Fernandez's conduct during the investigation as far from cooperative.
