Chakraborty asked to appear before ED this Friday

NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has asked Rhea Chakraborty, actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend, to appear before it on Friday for questioning, officials familiar with the developments said.

Chakraborty, a film and TV actress, has been told to present herself at the agency’s Mumbai office at 11am on Friday along with documents pertaining to her investments, said the officials.

The summons is linked to a case by ED — which investigates money laundering and foreign exchange violations — on July 31 on the basis of a Bihar Police FIR that followed a complaint by Rajput’s father, KK Singh who accused Chakraborty and her family of abetting the actor’s suicide and siphoning of his money.

The ED case was registered under the prevention of money laundering act (PMLA)..
