New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate has summoned actor Jacqueline Fernandez for a fresh round of questioning on Wednesday in a money laundering case involving alleged swindler Sukesh Chandrashekhar, official sources said.

The 38-year-old Sri Lankan-origin Bollywood actor has been questioned by the federal agency earlier in the case, which pertains to alleged defrauding of high-profile people, including Aditi Singh, wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh. About Rs 200 crore.

The ED had alleged that Chandrashekhar had used "proceeds of crime" or illegal funds to buy gifts for Fernandes.

A chargesheet filed in 2022 said the actor was "enjoying valuables, jewelery and expensive gifts provided by Chandrashekhar despite knowing about his criminal history."

ED has already questioned Fernandez in this case at least five times.

The actress has always maintained that she is innocent and had no knowledge of Chandrashekhar's alleged criminal activities.
