CBI files case against Rhea
Several charges levelled against them in connection with Sushant Singh’s death
Rhea Chakraborty has been named as an accused in the FIR filed by the CBI in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
A day after the Centre asked the agency to probe the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday registered a case against six persons, including Rhea Chakraborty and her family members, on the basis of the FIR filed by Bihar Police on his family’s complaint.
The CBI has named Rhea, her father Indrajit Chakraborty, mother Sandhya Chakraborty, brother Showik Chkaraborty, Sushant’s house manager Samuel Miranda, Shruti Modi and unknown others. They have been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code including abetment of suicide, criminal conspiracy, wrongful restraint/ confinement, theft, criminal breach of trust, cheating and other offences.
The CBI has handed the case over to its Special Investigation Team (SIT) branch, which earlier investigated the high profile cases like Rs360 million (Dh18 million) AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal, and liquor baron Vijay Mallya bank fraud case.
ED GRILLS RHEA
In another development, hours after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) rejected Rhea’s request for deferring her questioning, the actor appeared before the agency in Mumbai yesterday. Rhea arrived at the ED office here along with her brother Showik Chakraborty. The ED was due to record her statement under the Prevention of the Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.
