The actor's father said that when =Rhea felt that the money in Sushant's account was running out and he was no longer of any use, she left all her belongings with Sushant's flat.
FIR alleges that Rhea changed Sushant's mobile number so that his family couldn't connect to him. KK Singh said that his son was cheated and was held, hostage.
Sushant's father claimed that Rhea used his son's success as a ladder to propel her own Bollywood career. Not only this he even said that she exploited Sushant financially and compelled him to keep a distance from his own family.
Sushant's father has alleged Rhea of breaching Sushant's trust, cheating him, and driving the actor to commit suicide. Sushant's father has also claimed that Rhea threatened Sushant of revealing the details of his apparent mental illness to the media.
Chakraborty had earlier disclosed that she received rape and murder threats on social media over the actor's death and added that she "only wanted to understand what prompted him to take the step".
Bollywood actor Shekhar Suman, who has been actively voicing his demand for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into Sushant's death, tweeted from an unverified account on Tuesday evening: "Case filed against Rhea and her family under section 306 for abetment to suicide..also section 340 and 342.#CBICantBeDeniedForSSR"

He has alleged that Rhea took money from Sushant and instigated him to commit suicide.
Sushant and Rhea dated for a while before the actor died by suicide on June 14.
So far, around 40 people have already recorded their statements, including director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, filmmaker Aditya Chopra, director Mukesh Chhabra, filmmaker Shekhar Kapoor, film critic Rajeev Masand, director Mahesh Bhatt among others. Chakraborty's statement was recorded at Bandra Police Station on June 18, four days after Sushant's demise.
Several organisations have been demanding CBI probe into the matter as the death of the actor has literally opened a can of worms with nepotism charges, groupism and lobbying in Bollywood coming to the fore with many people coming out of closets with their claims of being sidelined by a selected group.
