Sushant Singh case: CBI summons Rhea Chakraborty, her father

The CBI has summoned actress Rhea Chakraborty and her father, in connection to the probe into actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, according to reports.

On Sunday, CBI questioned Sushant’s friend Siddharth Pithani, cook Neeraj Singh and domestic help Deepesh Sawant at the DRDO guest house in Mumbai.

These three persons, who were present in the flat when Rajput (34) was found hanging in his room on June 14, were questioned for about five hours following which the CBI sleuths took them to the late actor’s residence at Mont Blanc Apartments in suburban Bandra.

Forensic science experts were also part of the CBI team which visited Rajput’s residence, the official said.

On Saturday also, the CBI team accompanied by Pithani, Neeraj and Sawant visited the late actor’s house in Bandra to reconstruct the sequence of events before he was found dead.

Another CBI team on Saturday visited the state-run Cooper Hospital in the city, where autopsy had been performed on Rajput’s body.

A third CBI team had visited the Bandra police station to meet Mumbai Police officials who were investigating Rajput’s alleged suicide earlier.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the transfer of an FIR, lodged by Sushant’s father in Patna against actor Rhea Chakraborty and others for allegedly abetting his suicide, to the CBI.
