Rhea Chakraborty arrived at the DRDO Guest House in suburban Santacruz with her brother Showik. This is her third appearance before the central agency and Showik's fourth.
Rhea Chakraborty left her house with brother Showik for another round of questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Sunday is the third consecutive day when Rhea will be questioned by the central agency.
Rajput's flatmate Siddharth Pithani, cook Neeraj Singh, domestic help Keshav, manager Samual Miranda and accountant Rajat Mewati were already being quizzed by the CBI team since Saturday morning at the guest house.
On Friday, Chakraborty had been interrogated by the central agency for over 10 hours and allowed to return home under police escort as a large number of media personnel were present outside her building. On Saturday, she was quizzed for around seven hours. She had been earlier questioned by the Mumbai police in the case. The Enforcement Directorate has also quizzed her in a related money laundering case.
The Supreme Court last week upheld the transfer of an FIR, lodged by Rajput's father in Patna against Rhea Chakraborty and others for allegedly abetting his son's suicide and misappropriating his money, to the CBI.
The 34-year-old actor was found dead on June 14 in his flat in suburban Bandra.
