Jacqueline Fernandez was granted interim bail on Monday in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case against conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Delhi's Patiala House Court granted interim bail to the actor subject to a bond of Rs 50,000.
Earlier, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is probing the case against Sukesh, had questioned her for eight hours. This came after the probe agency filed a charge sheet on August 17 naming the actor as an accused in the case.
The actor was allegedly gifted jewellery worth over Rs 7 crore by Sukesh Chandrasekhar. He had also allegedly gifted several high end cars, expensive bags, clothes, shoes and costly watches to the actor and her family members.
