{{/usCountry}}In her regular bail plea, Jacqueline, a citizen of Sri Lanka, said that she was a tax-paying resident of India since 2009 and her “professional reputation and future work commitments” were “intrinsically linked” to the country. The actor said that she had consistently appeared before the investigating agency as and when summoned and her statements under the relevant section of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) were recorded five times.
In terms of the permission granted to her by the court, she travelled abroad and remained compliant with all terms and conditions, the plea said. As the agency took a “conscious decision” not to arrest her, she ought not to be remanded to custody at the instance of the court, the plea said.
According to ED, Jacqueline and actor Nora Fatehi, who were examined, had received luxury cars and other expensive gifts from Sukesh Chandrashekar.
