Indian actress Nora Fatehi has allegedly filed defamation suit against industry colleague and actor Jacqueline Fernandez. Nora claimed that latter made “Defamatory imputations due to malicious reasons.” Both Nora and Jacqueline have been tied to conman Sukesh Chandrashekar’s money laundering case and have been questioned by Enforcement Directorate multiple times in recent months, reported Hindustan Times.

While Jacqueline is an accused in money laundering case, Nora is still person of interest and witness. Nora has claimed in her suit filed before Patiala Court in Delhi that her name is being used in case to “Tarnish her image while she has tried to maintain cordial relationships with all her colleagues from industry.”

Delhi court adjourned hearing yet again by one week in INR200 crore money laundering case against Jacqueline and Sukesh. Special Judge Shailendra Malik deferred matter for December 20 after being told by counsel appearing for Jacqueline that she is yet to receive complete copies of charge sheet and other documents by Enforcement Directorate.

Jackie was granted regular bail on November 15 saying fact that accused was not arrested during investigation makes it case for grant of bail. She was granted relief on personal bond of INR200,000 by Special Judge Shailendra Malik on condition that she will not leave country without court’s prior permission and was instructed to join investigation as and when asked by ED.–Agencies
