The actress, in her reply to adjudicating authorities of PMLA, stated that the Fixed Deposits, attached vide the impugned order, have no nexus with a crime nor the Fixed Deposits are created by using the alleged proceeds of crime. Jacqueline Fernandez maintained that the deposits are from her “own legitimate sources of income and much before in time from even knowing that the main accused Chandrashekhar even existed in this world.”

Last week, the ED had filed a supplementary chargesheet, wherein they had named Jacqueline as an accused. Her lawyer, Prashant Patil had told ETimes that the actress was a victim in this case. “She has always cooperated with the investigation agencies and attended all the summons issued till date. She has handed over all the information to the best of her ability to the ED. The agencies have failed to appreciate that she was cheated and conned into this matter. She is a victim of a larger criminal conspiracy. Taking the entire prosecution case to be true for the sake of arguments, even then, no case is made out against Jacqueline under the scheme of Prevention of Money Laundering Act or any other Law in force. This is a case of mala fide prosecution and my client shall take steps as required under law to protect her dignity and liberty,” Prashant Patil had stated.
