NEW DELHI, August 09 2020 (HS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned actress Rhea Chakraborty again for questioning in connection with the money laundering case lodged against her after death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Sushant's family accused Rhea of siphoning off Rs 15 crore from the late actor's bank account.
Rhea, who was grilled for over 8 hours Friday, has been asked to appear before ED Monday. Earlier, the Enforcement Directorate had rejected Rhea's request to postpone her questioning till Supreme Court hearing, which is scheduled Tuesday.
According to sources, during Friday’s questioning Rhea was non-cooperative and unable to give explanation provided about the expenses. She also failed to furnish any documentary evidence about the expenses running into lakhs.
Sources say, Rhea during her questioning by ED was shown transactions from Sushant’s account to her account and she was asked to explain the expenditure incurred. The ED has also gathered evidence about sudden cash flow in two accounts of Rhea.
The agency is not satisfied with the answers she gave Friday and with additional evidence, Rhea will be grilled by ED Monday.
