Continuing its probe in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has grilled Showik Chakraborty, brother of actress Rhea Chakraborty, for the second time in connection with their financial transactions.
Showik, who went to the ED office around noon on Saturday, was seen leaving after more than 18 hours around 7 am on Sunday. According to officials, he has reportedly given “evasive or unconvincing replies” to the ED team quizzing him and is likely to be summoned again on Monday.
Besides, Rhea Chakraborty will also be summoned by the ED for another round of questioning on Monday. She had first been questioned for over eight hours on Friday.
Among other things, the ED is investigating the money-laundering angle in the Sushant case after the late actor`s father Krishna Kishore Singh lodged a complaint with Patna Police to question certain financial matters pertaining to his son.
The ED took over the case on the basis of a Bihar Police FIR on the complaint of Sushant’s father KK Singh, who alleged that Rs 15 crore was withdrawn or transferred from his son’s Kotak Mahindra Bank account holding Rs 17 crore.
The ED had registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against Rhea and her family members on the basis of Singh`s complaint submitted at the Rajiv Nagar police station in Patna.
The ED is seeking details of the financial transactions of the two companies in which she and her brother were directors along with Sushant.
