Why haven’t you arrested Jacqueline Fernandez: Delhi court asks ED for opposing bail to actor
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) reportedly had a difficult time answering the questions in a Delhi court on Thursday when it opposed bail for actor Jacqueline Fernandez.
“Why have you not arrested the actor unlike other accused so far, in spite of issuing a lookout circular (LOC)?” the court asked the ED, adding, “Why adopt a pick-and-choose policy?”
The Delhi court is expected to announce on Friday its decision on the actor’s request for a bail, reported NDTV.
Fernandez was earlier granted interim bail. She faces charges of being linked to an extortion case of Rs 200 crore, involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The ED issued the LOC in airports to prevent the actor from leaving the country.
The Directorate officials argued in court that the actor should not be granted bail as she tried to flee the country. She also did not cooperate with the investigating officials, they added.

Will of people supreme, says Mahua Moitra after BJP's landslide victory in Bengal
Kolkata (PTI): A day after the Trinamool Congress faced a drubbing by the BJP in the West Bengal assembly elections, TMC MP Mohua Moitra on Tuesday said her party respects the mandate as the will of the people is supreme.
She also said that the party will continue the fight for a “secular country”.
In a post on X, Moitra said, “The will of the people is supreme. If Bengal wanted BJP, then Bengal has got BJP. We respect that.”
The BJP on Monday scripted history by winning 206 seats to secure more than a two-thirds majority in the West Bengal assembly polls, ending the TMC’s 15-year rule.
"We fought the good fight against unimaginable odds on an uneven pitch and for that I am proud of my leader & my party," Moitra said.
She said the TMC will continue to stand and fight for a secular country where the constitution, and "not brute majoritarianism, is the last word”.
