Rs 200 Crore Extortion Case: Jacqueline Fernandez’s Interim Bail Extended Till Nov 15

New Delhi: The Patiala House court in Delhi on Friday extended Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez’s interim bail till November 15 in connection with the Rs 200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.

The decision on her regular bail plea will be announced on November 15. Earlier on Thursday, the court had reserved order on the bail plea for Friday after hearing arguments from the lawyers appearing for Fernandez as well as the ED.

According to news agency PTI, the court rapped the Enforcement Directorate for adopting a pick-and-choose policy, and asked why the agency had not arrested actor Jacqueline Fernandez despite issuing a lookout circular against her.

On the ED’s submission that Fernandez can escape the country easily as she is not short of money, the court questioned why the actor was not arrested so far.

The agency told the court that it has issued a Lookout Circular (LOC) on airports to stop the actor from leaving the country.

The accused has sought bail, saying there was no need for her custody since the investigation is already complete and the charge sheet has been filed.

The court had on September 26 granted interim bail to the actress on a personal bond of Rs 50,000.
