It has accused her of financial misdemeanour and wants her in custody.

Fernandez' lawyer Prashant Patil denies the charges and insists there is no legal case against her.
Who is Jacqueline Fernandez?
The case has made headlines in India because of the celebrity status of Fernandez.

A Sri Lankan beauty pageant winner and model, she debuted in Bollywood in 2009 and has established herself as a popular actress.

Film critics often trash her acting abilities, but Fernandez has been paired with some of the industry's biggest stars, including Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan, and starred in some hits.

She has participated in stage shows in India and abroad alongside superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra and worked as a judge on a popular dance reality show.

A celebrity endorser for several big brands, the actress is routinely found in media lists of "most desirable" women, "the world's sexiest Asian women" and the "most popular Indian celebrities".

But since last year, she has been embroiled in an unseemly controversy involving an alleged conman, details of expensive gifts she's received from him, and accusations of money laundering against her.

ED officials have called her for questioning on several occasions, filed charges against her in court and were pitching to arrest her. But on Tuesday, a Delhi court ruled in her favour and allowed her bail.

What is the case against Fernandez?
The case centres around her relationship with Sukesh Chandrasekhar - a 32-year-old man accused of extortion by several people and described by the authorities and Indian press as a "conman".

According to court documents, Chandrashekhar, who's been in prison since 2018 in connection with other cases, was named in a fresh complaint in August last year where he was accused of extorting a business family of 2bn rupees ($24.6m; £20.9m) in 2020. His lawyer Ashok K Singh has denied all the charges against his client and said that "he has been framed".While investigating this case, officials say they found that between February and August last year, Chandrasekhar had lavished Jaqueline Fernandez with gifts worth 71.2m rupees which included designer handbags, clothes, jewellery, a horse, cars for her siblings and parents, properties and cash payments.

Fernandez does not deny the gifts but Mr Patil, her lawyer, says that she is also "a victim" of an elaborate crime.
