Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez has officially taken back her plea to become an approver in the high-profile Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. She withdrew the application, which was originally filed last month, at Delhi's Patiala House Court.

This decision came right after the Enforcement Directorate strongly objected to her request. The agency argued to the court that Jacqueline kept in regular contact with Sukesh even after learning about his criminal past. 

According to the ED, she and her family continued to accept expensive gifts and luxury items bought with the extorted money. Because of these ongoing interactions and financial benefits, the agency stated that her claims of being an innocent and unaware participant just did not hold up.

Jacqueline is currently listed as a co-accused in this massive extortion case. The core of the investigation revolves around Sukesh Chandrashekhar allegedly extorting Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh, by pretending to be a senior government official. The ED's firm stance and detailed written opposition seem to have directly led to the actor stepping back from her attempt to testify for the prosecution.
