Netizens have also reacted to the clip, one of them wrote, “Galti kar rahe they tum log. Ek camera seedha uske muh me ghusa dete na. Itni door bhi kyu rakha.” The second one said, “Let her breath.”

The third person mentioned, “ this is wrong. I don’t think this is the way to hound someone.” One of the social media users compared her situation with Rhea Chakraborty and wrote, “This has such Rhea Chakraborty vibes. The way she was treated in her case was sad.”
For the unversed, Additional Sessions Judge Shailender Malik delivered the order which had been reserved last week. A detailed copy of the order will be made available later in the day.
The ED had recently filed its second supplementary charge sheet naming Jacqueline as an accused. On September 26, the court granted interim protection from arrest to Jacqueline. Jacqueline and another Bollywood personality, Nora Fatehi, have recorded their statements as witnesses in the case.
Earlier, fixed deposits worth Rs 7.2 crore belonging to Jacqueline were attached by the ED. The probe agency termed these gifts and properties as "proceeds" of crime received by Jacqueline and Nora.
In February, the ED had filed its first supplementary charge sheet against Pinky Irani, an alleged aide to Chandrashekhar who introduced him to Bollywood actors. It had been alleged in the charge sheet that Pinky used to choose expensive gifts for Jacqueline and drop them at her residence after Chandrashekhar made the payments.
