Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case LIVE Updates: Rhea Chakraborty, who has been accused by actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s father of abetting his son’s suicide, has filed a fresh affidavit in the Supreme Court, stating that the media is “unfairly” targeting her. In the affidavit, Rhea said that she has been declared a convict by the media trials. She also said that she had no objection if the apex court would transfer the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), but the ongoing media trial against her should be stopped. Rhea, along with her brother Showik and father Indrajit Chakraborty, is currently being questioned by the Enforcement Directorate in Mumbai in connection with a money laundering case linked with Sushant’s death.
Sushant’s friend and flatmate Siddharth Pithani also arrived at the ED office in connection with a money laundering case that stems from the complaint filed by the late actor’s father with the Bihar police in connection with his death. On the other hand, the CBI will record the statement of Sushant’s family members. The CBI, which has taken over the investigation into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput case from the Bihar Police after re-registering an FIR of alleged criminal conspiracy and abetment to suicide against Rhea Chakraborty, has also sought time from Sushant’s family members for the same.
Rhea’s former manager Shruti Modi also reached the ED office on Monday for the second round of questioning. The ED questioned Showik for about 18 hours on Sunday. Officials said Showik’s statement was recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and he was asked about his personal businesses, income, investments and financial dealings with his sister and Sushant. He was grilled by the agency for a few hours on August 7 as well. On the same day, his sister the prime accused in the case, Rhea (28) was questioned by the agency for the first time for about eight hours.
Rhea has been accused by Sushant’s father of abetting his son’s suicide and she had initially refused to appear before the agency citing her appeal pending before the Supreme Court that is slated to be heard on August 11. Sushant’s 74-year-old father KK Singh, who resides in Patna, had on July 25 filed a complaint with the Patna police against Rhea, her parents (including mother Sandhya Chakraborty), Showik, Rajput’s manager Samuel Miranda, Modi and unknown persons accusing them of cheating and abetting his son’s suicide. The CBI had re-registered this FIR as a fresh case on Thursday and named as accused the same people.
