While hearing the actor's bail application, her lawyers argued that the law enforcement agency haven't provided Fernandez with any document. The court directed the ED to do so.

In its reply, the agency alleged that the Bollywood star has been noncooperative in the investigation and she has also tampered with evidence by deleting data from her mobile phone.

The case will be heard in court next on November 10.

Fernandez could not flee the country since her name was on the "lookout circular", or the list of people to be stopped from fleeing the country, the ED said in the court document, reports NDTV.

Jailed Chandrashekha has allegedly cheated several people including former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh's wife Aditi Singh.

Earlier, the CBI on October 7 filed a charge sheet against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar for allegedly extorting over Rs 9 crore from people who are being investigated by different agencies, by spoofing phone numbers, officials said, reports PTI.

In its charge sheet filed before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chengalpattu, in Tamil Nadu's Kancheepuram district, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleged that the accused allegedly conspired to cheat by impersonation by using digital devices.

The agency in its charge sheet named Chandrashekhar, who is facing a number of cases by different agencies for impersonation and fraud, and Sanjay Jain, who used to handle his legal matters.

The agency alleged that Chandrashekhar extorted large amounts of money as bribe from them on the assurance of settling their cases, but he misappropriated it for his personal use.
