Actress Jacqueline Fernandez was yesterday stopped at the Mumbai Airport by immigration officials due to a LOC (Look Out Circular).
The Enforcement Directorate had opened a LOC against the actor in the Sukesh Chandrasekar case. Ms Fernandez wanted to go to Dubai for a show.
She has been let go after brief questioning and has been informed that she has to appear before the probe agency in Delhi.
The ED will issue fresh summons to her for appearing at the Delhi office today.
The probe agency has filed a charge sheet in a Delhi court against conman Sukesh Chandrasekar and others in the 200-crore money laundering case, alleging that he extorted Rs 200 crore from a businessman's wife while he was lodged in Tihar jail.
The central agency has unearthed evidence showing financial transactions from Chandrasekar to Ms Fernandez.
A horse worth Rs 52 lakh and a Persian cat worth Rs 9 lakh were among gifts worth Rs 10 crores given by Chandrashekar to Ms Fernandez, the ED has said in its charge sheet, according to sources.
Investigation into alleged proceeds of crime reaching the Bollywood actor from Sukesh is still on, and the actor is to be questioned again.(NDTV)
