Tezzbuzz Desk – There has been a big twist in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case related to mastermind Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandes has now adopted a new stand in this case and expressed her desire to become a government witness. His decision is being considered an important development in the case.

Preparing to become a government witness

According to reports, Jacqueline Fernandes’ lawyer told during the hearing in Patiala House Court that the actress wants to become a government witness in this case. For this he has also made a formal request to the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The special thing is that earlier Jacqueline had refused to do so, but now her changed attitude can change the direction of the case.

It is alleged in the case that Sukesh Chandrashekhar had given expensive gifts worth crores of rupees to Jacqueline, which included luxury cars, jewelery and designer clothes. Due to accepting these gifts, ED had also considered Jacqueline as a co-accused.

The matter reached the court

To get relief in this case, Jacqueline Fernandes had also approached the Supreme Court in the year 2025. Now his decision to become a government witness is being considered as a major change in legal strategy.

Many cases against Sukesh

A total of 31 cases are registered against Sukesh Chandrashekhar, out of which he has got bail in 26. However, the hearing of some cases is still going on, due to which their release has not been possible. Apart from money laundering, he is also accused of fraud related to election symbol.

Career affected

The impact of this controversy has also been seen on the career of Jacqueline Fernandes. In recent times, his public appearances have decreased and the number of films has also decreased. However, in 2025, she was seen in films like ‘Fateh’, ‘Raid 2’ and ‘Housefull 5’. In the coming time, she will be seen in the multi-starrer film ‘Welcome to the Jungle’.
