What happened during the court hearing…
Jacqueline said – ED only bothered me
Jacqueline said in her defense in the courtroom, ‘I have given full cooperation to the investigating agency in this matter. I myself surrendered in this case, but ED has only bothered me. I keep going abroad in connection with my work, but I was stopped from going abroad. I am not even being allowed to meet my family members.
Jacqueline further said, ‘I had emailed the investigating agency for all these things, but that too was not 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.
ED said – Jacqueline may flee to Sri Lanka
On behalf of the ED, the lawyer said that Jacqueline is a foreign national. His family lives in Sri Lanka. Jacqueline also tried to escape in December 2021. When we confronted them with the evidence, then they have told the facts.
For the hearing on October 22, Jacqueline had reached the court in the clothes of a lawyer, so that no one could recognize her.
ED opposed Jacqueline’s interim bail on October 22
On October 22, the Patiala House Court, while hearing the bail plea, granted interim bail to Jacqueline. Even then the ED had opposed the bail decision. The agency had alleged that Jacqueline never cooperated in the investigation, everything was revealed only when 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.
According to the ED report, Jacqueline had told during interrogation that she and Sukesh were in a relationship, so she had taken gifts worth crores of rupees from Sukesh.
Jacqueline is an important witness in extortion
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.
Jacqueline-Sukesh were in a relationship, Jacqueline confessed in ED’s interrogation
At the beginning of the case, there were a lot of rumors about the relationship between Jacqueline and Sukesh. There were reports that while dating Sukesh, she received many expensive gifts from Sukesh. These included jewellery, crockery, four Persian cats and a horse. 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 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 had delivered designer clothes, cars and gifts of Jacqueline’s choice to her. During the interrogation of ED, Jacqueline had confessed to her relationship and receiving gifts.
Sukesh gifted a horse worth Rs 52 lakh to Jacqueline during her stay in jail.
ED claims – Jacqueline knew from the beginning the reality of Sukesh
According to media reports, the ED believes that Jacqueline knew from the beginning that the main accused in this case, Sukesh Chandrashekhar, is a swindler and that he does extortion. Many of their private photos also went viral on social media, after which the ED questioned Jacqueline and kept the photos of both as evidence.
