Enforcement Directorate has summoned Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez to appear before the investigators in Delhi on December 8, Wednesday.
The agency summoned Fernandez a day after stopping her at the Mumbai airport preventing her from flying abroad, stating that she may be required to join the ongoing money laundering investigation.
Jacqueline Fernandez is being investigated by the ED in Rs 200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
In a recent chargesheet against Sukesh Chandrasekhar, the Enforcement Directorate mentioned Jacqueline Fernandez’s involvement with the conman.

Fernandez has been questioned by the ED in this case at least twice and the agency suspects she is a “beneficiary of the proceeds of crime” allegedly generated by Chandrashekhar.
Her spokesperson had earlier said she was testifying before the agency as a witness.
“Jacqueline Fernandez is being called to testify as a witness by the ED. She has duly recorded her statements and in future will also be completely cooperating with the agency in the investigations.
“Jacqueline also categorically denies alleged slanderous statements made about relationship with the involved couple,” the spokesperson had said in a statement in October.
