In a Rs 200 crore money laundering case, Jacqueline Fernandez suffers a setback.
According to the news agency PTI, the actor informed the court of her decision after the judge stated that the question of charge should be decided first. "You can withdraw the application and let the question of charge first be decided. Otherwise, I will issue a judicial order," said the judge.

Following that, the actor met with her lawyers and informed the court that she was withdrawing her application "at this stage," according to PTI.

During the arguments, the Enforcement Directorate opposed her plea, saying "if she is allowed to go abroad she may not return." .
