The investigation into actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death took a new turn on Tuesday with his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty accusing the actor’s sister, Priyanka, of ‘getting into bed with her and groping her.’The statement, released by Chakraborty’s counsel on August 18, also mentions that Rhea suffered anxiety and panic attacks.

The statement adds that “even though they spent a lot of time in each other’s homes , they officially moved in together in December 2019 and lived at Mount Blanc, Bandra, till Rhea left on the 8th of June 2020.”

Among other allegations, the statement accuses Sushant’s sister Priyanka of trying to grope her. Detailing the incident, the statement says, “In the initial months of their relationship, when Rhea had visited Sushant’s house , his sister Priyanka and her husband Siddharth were living with him. On one night, in and around April 2019, Rhea and Priyanka had gone out to a party. Priyanka consumed copious amounts of alcohol and was behaving inappropriately with men as well as women at that party. So, Rhea insisted that they return to Sushant’s home. Upon returning, Sushant and his sister continued drinking alcohol while Rhea retired for the night as she had a shoot the next morning. Rhea was asleep in Sushant’s room when she suddenly awoke to find Priyanka had got into bed with her and was groping her.”

“Even after his death when a list of 20 people was made to attend the Funeral, Rhea’s name was not included in the list and hence excluded from  attending the Funeral,” it reads.

KK Singh, father of Sushant, has filed and FIR in Bihar against the actress for abetting his son to suicide . He also blamed Rhea’s family for cheating his son financially.

Clarifying this point, the statement reads, “Sushant had been calling his family, informing them of his decision to move out of Mumbai and requesting them to come meet him. After several days of Sushant calling and crying over the phone, his sister Meethu agreed to come live with him on 8th of June 2020. Due to this development, Sushant requested Rhea to live with her parents for the time being.”

The statement says that “Rhea had been suffering from her own anxiety issues and often endured panic attacks. Sushant’s conduct also aggravated these conditions. Even though Rhea was desirous of seeing her family, she was not at all comfortable with leaving Sushant.”

“ The very same day, 8th June 2020, Rhea had arranged to have a therapy session of her own with Dr. Susan Walker and requested Sushant if she could leave after the session. However, Sushant told her to leave immediately before his sister Meethu arrived. Thus Rhea reluctantly left and informed Sushant to let her or her brother know about anything he required or in case he needed to talk.”
