Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty, who was questioned by the CBI for the last three days over the death of her boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput, has been summoned by the agency again on Monday. Her brother Showik Chakraborty will also be grilled by the CBI tomorrow. The Jalebi actress was questioned for around eight hours on Sunday at the DRDO guest house in Mumbai, where the CBI has set up base. She had been interrogated for around 7 hours on Saturday and around 10 hours on Friday.
The CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation), which took over the case following an order from the Supreme Court, questioned Rhea Chakraborty and brother Showik about their Europe trip with questions that included:
- Why was Sushant scared to see a painting in their hotel?
- Why did Showik often go on tours with Rhea and Sushant?
- Which doctor was treating Sushant and since when do you know the doctor?
The CBI team was keen on getting more details on the treatment of Sushant, what medicines were being administered to him, and since how long he was getting treatment.
When the questions about the medical treatment and medicines were asked, Rhea was "evasive". She was also not "comfortable" when asked about the problems of Sushant and why she was talking about drugs in her chats.
She was also questioned about the reasons for replacing the personal staff at Sushant's residence and reportedly keeping the late actor away from his family.
The CBI team also grilled her about the financial transactions and plans of investments.
The CBI team was not satisfied with Rhea's responses and plans to summon her again.
Till date, the CBI has questioned Rhea for over 25 hours. She was questioned for over 10 hours on Friday and seven hours on Saturday.
The CBI also grilled her brother separately on Friday and Saturday besides questioning Sushant's personal staff Neeraj Singh, and Dipesh Sawant, flatmate Siddharth Pithani and others.
The CBI team had arrived in Mumbai along with the forensic team last Thursday, a day after the Supreme Court gave the nod for a probe by the federal agency, and was exempted from mandatory quarantine by the BMC.
The CBI team has till date twice visited the Cooper Hospital, Sushant's Bandra flat and Waterstone resort.
The team has also collected all the documents from the Mumbai Police related to the case.
The CBI has registered a case on the orders of the Central government on the basis of a request from the Bihar government. Sushant's father K.K. Singh had filed a case with the Bihar Police against Rhea, her father Indrajit, mother Sandhya, brother Showik, Sushant's ex-manager Shruti Modi, house manager Samuel Miranda, Pithani and unknown others.
