“We have not seen INR50 lakh in cash in our entire life, but Jacqueline frittered away INR7.14 crore for fun. She has tried every trick in the book to try and escape because she has enough money,” the directorate said.
The court had reserved the verdict regarding the bail plea, which will be announced on Friday.
ED came under severe criticism from the court. The court asked why they did not arrest the actor when there was a Lookout Circular (LOC) against her when other suspects were in custody.
“Why haven’t you arrested Jacqueline yet despite issuing an LOC? Other accused are in jail. Why adopt a pick-and-choose policy?” the court asked the Enforcement Directorate.
