The Central
Bureau of Investigation on Friday questioned Rhea Chakraborty for more than 10
hours in the Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case. Rhea appeared before the CBI for the first time on Friday. According to a report in the news agency PTI, the actor left the
DRDO guest house complex in Santacruz a little after 9 pm, and will be summoned
again.
Before Rhea’s arrival at the DRDO guest
house, Rajput’s flatmate Siddharth Pithani and manager Samual Miranda had
reached the guest house.
The actress
was reportedly interrogated by a Superintendent of Police-rank officer of the
Central agency on various aspects of the Sushant Singh Rajput case, an official
said.
Pithani was
taken out of DRDO guest house complex by CBI officials in the afternoon. He was
reportedly taken to the CBI office in Bandra Kurla Complex, the official said,
adding that he was brought back around 7.30 pm.
The CBI team,
which is in the city for the last eight days to investigate the Sushant death
case, had on Thursday recorded the statement of Rhea’s brother Showik
Chakraborty.
The CBI has so
far questioned Pithani, Rajput’s cook Neeraj Singh and domestic help Deepesh
Sawant, among others, as part of its probe in the high-profile case.
The agency has
also recorded statements of Rajput’s chartered accountant Sandip Sridhar and
accountant Rajat Mewati.
Earlier,
before the CBI took over the probe, the Mumbai police had recorded Rhea
Chakraborty’s statement in connection with Rajput’s suicide.
The Supreme
Court last week upheld the transfer of an FIR, lodged by Rajput’s father in
Patna against Rhea Chakraborty and others for allegedly abetting his son’s
suicide and misappropriating his money, to the CBI.
The
34-year-old actor was found hanging on June 14 in his flat in suburban Bandra.
