Sushant Singh Rajput’s father’s lawyer Vikas Singh on Monday told on Monday that the possibility of actor Rhea Chakraborty’s arrest will rise if she does not cooperate with the Central Bureau of Investigation, when they quiz her, reported news agency ANI. Rhea has been named in an FIR lodged by Sushant’s father KK Singh, and the CBI is now investigating the death case of the actor.

“Rhea Chakraborty will be summoned by the CBI after it has done its spadework. They are examining everybody and once they are able to do their homework properly then only they will start grilling Rhea,” Singh told ANI.

“Once they (CBI) start grilling Rhea and if she does not cooperate with the investigation or gives evasive answers, then the possibility of her arrest will also rise. I’m quite hopeful that probe is going in the right direction,” he added.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case was handed over to the CBI last week after the Supreme Court approved of it. The FIR, based on which the case was transferred, accused Rhea Chakraborty of abetting to the actors suicide. 

The top agency has been probing the case, which was earlier being investigated by Mumbai Police who have been asked to cooperate with the CBI. The bureau has quizzed people including Sushant’s flat-mate Siddharth Pithani and cook Neeraj Singh.

Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide at his Bandra residence on June 14 at the age of 34.
