Money laundering: Jacqueline skips probe agency’s summons again

Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, for the fourth time, skipped the summons by the Enforcement Directorate issued in connection with a money laundering case against fraudsters Sukesh Chandrasekar and his actor-wife Leena Paul, NDTV reported yesterday.

The agency, which investigates financial crimes, had last recorded her statement as a witness in the case on August 30.

Since then, the 36-year-old actress has skipped summons on September 25, October 15, 16 and today.

Jacqueline Fernandez cited “professional commitments” behind her no-show, as per sources.

Sukesh Chandrasekar and Leena Paul have already been arrested by Delhi Police for allegedly duping the family of Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh of around ? 200 crore.

The agency had earlier also questioned actor Nora Fatehi.

The case was filed based on a complaint by Shivinder Singh’s wife, Aditi Singh, who said a man posing as a senior Law Ministry official offered to help get bail for Mr Singh (then in jail) in return for money.
