The hearing on the bail petition filed in the money laundering case of film actress Leena Maria, wife of Sukesh Chandrashekhar and accused in the case related to fraud of Rs 200 crore, has been postponed in the Delhi High Court on Saturday. The court has fixed April 6 for the next hearing of the case.
During the earlier hearing, the High Court had completed the arguments on the bail petition filed by Leena Maria under MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act) and had reserved the decision. However, the hearing will now proceed on aspects related to money laundering.
During the last hearing, it was argued in the court on behalf of Leena that the relationship between her and Sukesh Chandrashekhar is no longer normal and the relationship between them is not going well. The defense had also said that Sukesh was in a relationship with another woman. When the court asked about the identity of this woman, the lawyer appearing on behalf of Leena had taken the name of film actress Jacqueline Fernandes, which brought the case even more into limelight.
It is noteworthy that in this high-profile case, Leena Maria was arrested by the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police in September 2021. Later the Enforcement Directorate (ED) also arrested him on money laundering charges. According to the investigating agencies, Leena’s role in the fraud of Rs 200 crore allegedly committed by Sukesh Chandrashekhar is also being investigated.
At present, the next hearing in the court on the bail petition in this case will be on April 6, on which everyone’s eyes are fixed.
It is noteworthy that Sukesh Chandrashekhar is accused of fraud of Rs 200 crore and this matter has already been much discussed. This matter came to light in the year 2021 when a case of money laundering was registered against swindler Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who had perpetrated a big scam from Tihar Jail itself. It is alleged that a fraud of Rs 200 crore was done. Later, it was revealed that Sukesh had also used this amount to give expensive gifts to many celebrities, among which the name of Jacqueline Fernandez came to the fore. According to the information, Jacqueline had received many expensive gifts from Sukesh, which were worth crores.
