Ever since the Supreme Court has given its verdict on Rhea Chakraborty’s petition to transfer Sushant Singh Rajput’s case from Bihar to Mumbai, wherein the transfer has been denied; there has been news that Rhea Chakraborty is absconding. But now, the Enforcement Directorate has summoned the Bollywood actress for questioning under the suspicion of money laundering and personal use of Sushant’s money.

The Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The actress has been called on Friday, 7th August for the questioning session.

According to sources who spoke to CNN News18, Enforcement Directorate will be investigating the investments made by Rhea in two properties in Mumbai. They will be checking if the flow of funds in these properties has been from the late actor’s account. Rhea’s Chartered Accountant (CA) has also been called.

Sushant’s CA Sandeep Shridhar was also summoned by the ED. He was asked about the late actor’s finances and the investments that he had made in the past.

On 25th July, KK Singh, Sushant’s father filed an FIR in Patna which accused Rhea Chakraborty and her family members of abetment to suicide, criminal conspiracy and cheating. He also accused them of taking Rs 15 crore from Sushant’s account in a short span of time.

The FIR was lodged after the interference of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. IPC sections 341, 342, 380, 406, 420, 306 have been imposed by the Patna police. A four-member team of Bihar police has been investigating in Mumbai ever since.

Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on 14th June 2020, in his Bandra apartment.
