In a big relief to Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, Delhi's Patiala House court granted her bail on Tuesday in the 200 crore extortion case.. While declaring this, the court also asked the actor to sign a bail bond of Rs. 2,000,000. Fernandez had sought bail, arguing that since Sukesh Chandrasekhar had investigated the money laundering case and submitted the charge sheet, there was no need to keep him in jail.

On the other hand, while talking to CNN News18, Jacqueline's lawyer said that the actress will file a petition for release from the money laundering case. For the uninitiated, the Bollywood actor has become the subject of investigation by the Directorate of Law Enforcement (ED) in connection with the case. The court told the lawyer last week when the actor was on bail that they wanted a trial soon in this case. In addition to this, the Delhi court criticized the ED for not arresting Fernandez.

The court criticized the ED and asked: 'Why haven't you arrested Jacqueline despite giving LOC? The other accused are in prison. Why should you pick and choose a policy? As part of the case, the ED also called Jacqueline Fernandez several times, and she was listed as the first accused in the supplementary charge.

The Central Agency believes that Jacqueline knows that Sukesh is an extortionist and is involved in a scam. Earlier, the ED said that the allegations against the actor and Sukesh were "beneficial" to his family and friends. Narrating his response to the central office, the actor said that he was also a "victim of the modus operandi adopted by Sukesh". He went on to say that his death sentence was unjustified.
