Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has landed in legal trouble. The Enforcement Directorate has named the Vikrant Rona actress as an accused in Rs 215 crore extortion case which also involves conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. The central agency believes that Jacqueline was aware of conman Sukesh being an extortionist. Jacqueline Fernandez has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate several times in the last year. In April 2020, ED also attached Rs 7.27 crore funds of Jacqueline under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
