CBI to look into financial dealings of Sushant, Rhea

Investigative agency to get documents from ED

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), probing Sushant Singh Rajput death case, is all set to collect crucial documents related to four bank accounts of the late actor from the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Sources said, “It is suspected that money from two of the four bank accounts belonging to actor Sushant Singh was transferred to his friend, Rhea Chakraborty.” The ED, which is also probing money laundering case involving Sushant Singh’s death, has collected certain documents related to bank accounts of the late actor, sources said, adding that the CBI sleuths will soon take possession of those documents. Rajput was found dead in his apartment in Mumbai’s Bandra on June 14. The Mumbai Police, which is investigating the case, said that the actor died by suicide.

Rajput’s father, K.K. Singh, had last month lodged a complaint with the Bihar Police against Rhea Chakraborty, her family members and six others for abetment to suicide of his son and fraud. Mr Singh had accused Chakraborty, of having befriended his son in May 2019 with the intention of furthering her own career. The father also wanted a police investigation to ascertain where the `15 crore, which he claimed was deposited in a bank account held by Rajput, had been transferred.

The CBI on Thursday registered an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty, Indrajit Chakraborty, Sandhya Chakraborty, Showik Chakraborty, Samuel Miranda, Shruti Modi and others involved in the case, officials said. It took over probe from Bihar Police.

Meanwhile, Rajput’s father met Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday.
