Last week, Nora Fatehi filed a defamation suit against Jacqueline and some media organizations in a Delhi court in connection with the same case. Nora and Jacqueline have both been questioned in a money laundering case filed against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Nora's plea alleged that Jacqueline “made defamatory imputations” due to “malicious reasons” with an intent to “destroy her career to further her own interests”.

However, Jacqueline’s lawyer, advocate Prashant Patil said that his client has never said anything in public about Nora Fatehi and hence, the question of defaming her should not arise. Earlier, Jacqueline was granted bail on a personal bond of 2 lakh by the court in the 200-crore money laundering case.
