Jacqueline gets bail from Delhi court

MY INDIA

IN PMLA CASE

A Delhi court on Tuesday granted regular bail to actor Jacqueline Fernandez in a ₹200 crore money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekar, saying the fact that the accused was not arrested during the investigation makes it a case for grant of bail. Special judge Shailendra Malik granted the relief on the condition that the accused will not leave the country without the court’s prior permission, and directed her to join the investigation as and when asked by the ED. “In the present case accused/applicant being a woman having been not arrested by the ED in facts and evidence of present case, to my mind is certainly entitled for exemption of section 45 (of Prevention of Money Laundering Act) on account of her being woman,” he added.
