&nbsp;A Delhi court has ordered charges against actor Jacqueline Fernandez, Sukesh Chandrashekar, and 15 others in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case. Additional Sessions Judge Prashant Sharma said there is enough material to show strong suspicion against all accused. The charges will be framed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The court gave this order on Saturday after hearing arguments from both sides.The case says Sukesh Chandrashekar ran a crime network from jail. He posed as top officers from the Prime Minister’s Office, Home Ministry, and Law Ministry. Using fake calls and apps, he cheated Aditi Singh, wife of former Fortis promoter Shivinder Singh, and her family. The group took huge sums of money by promising help in a legal matter. Sukesh was first arrested by Delhi Police in 2017 and later by the Enforcement Directorate in 2021.The Enforcement Directorate says more than Rs 200 crore was collected through cheating and threats. The money was moved through bank accounts, cash, and shell firms. It was used to buy property, luxury cars, and costly gifts. The agency found phones, chat records, bank details, and other proof during searches. The ED says Jacqueline Fernandez stayed in touch with Sukesh and got expensive gifts through Pinky Irani. The actor says she did not know the money was from crime and calls herself a victim.Other accused in the case include Sukesh’s wife Leena Maria Paul, Deepak Ramnani, Pradeep Ramdanee, B Mohanraj, Arun Muthu, and others. The ED has filed multiple chargesheets and attached assets worth crores. With the court’s order, the trial will now move ahead. Dates for framing of charges will be fixed soon. This case is one of the biggest money laundering probes involving a film star in recent years.
