Earlier, the ED had attached assets belonging to the actor and had also questioned her. The agency in April provisionally attached Rs 7 crore assets of the actor under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

“Sukesh Chandrasekhar had given various gifts worth Rs 5.71 crore to Jacqueline Fernandez from the proceeds of crime generated by criminal activities including extortion. “Chandrasekhar had put Pinky Irani, his long time associate and co-accused in this case to deliver the said gifts to her,” the ED had then said in a statement.

Among these gifts were a horse worth Rs 52 lakh and a Persian cat worth Rs 9 lakh, the ED has alleged. The agency has also alleged that Chandrashekar gave huge sums of money to the family members of Ms Fernandez.

According to ED’s remand papers accessed, Kapoor is suspected to have been involved in laundering ₹4,300 crore. He allegedly received a kickback of ₹600 crore from Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL), the agency said. The agency alleged that Yes Bank bought ₹3,700 crore worth debentures of DHFL, which granted a ₹600-crore loan to Doit, a company in which Kapoor’s daughters are directors. The ED believes the loan to Doit was a kickback for Yes Bank’s subscription to the debentures of DHFL.

Sources said the probe has revealed that members of the Kapoor family received kickbacks in lieu for the loans sanctioned. The ED is checking if the properties are bought from the proceeds of crime. Among the properties are a bungalow on the city’s Altamount Road, properties in Delhi on Kautilya Road, SP Road and Amrita Shergill Road. The agency is also scanning properties in a foreign location. The worth of the properties is hundreds of crores.

The agency has stumbled upon 47 expensive paintings, including an MF Husain painting of Rajiv Gandhi. The ED has provisionally attached the paintings which were seized during the raids. Former Yes Bank chief executive officer Ravneet Gill also joined the probe on Monday and visited the ED office in Ballard Estate.
