Probe Agency Rejects Rhea Chakraborty’s Request To Defer Questioning: Sources

Mumbai : Actor Rhea Chakraborty, asked to appear before the Enforcement Directorate today over investigations into Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, has asked for an extension of the deadline citing the Supreme Court hearing on her petition.
“She has requested a postponement of the recording of her statement because of the Supreme Court hearing,” Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde said.

Rhea Chakraborty has been accused of a role in actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death by his family, which has alleged that she transferred money from his accounts and mentally harassed him. The Bollywood actor died by suicide on June 14, according to the Mumbai police.

The Enforcement Directorate had asked Rhea Chakraborty to appear by today for questioning in a money laundering case it has filed over what it calls “suspicious transactions” worth Rs 15 crore. The agency, which investigates financial crimes, took note of a First Information Report or FIR by Bihar Police based on a complaint by Sushant Singh Rajput’s family.
