It was also argued that she was not aware that the gifts she received were out of proceeds of crime. In these circumstances, she is entitled to bail.
In its chargesheet, the ED has said the actor knew about the criminal history of Sukesh Chandrashekhar and “consciously chose to overlook” his past. It is clear, the probe agency said, that Jacqueline Fernandez was enjoying the valuables, jewellery and costly gifts as provided by the accused (Sukesh), despite knowing about his criminal antecedents.
