Big relief for Rhea in Sushant Singh Rajput death case as ED finds no direct money transfer

The Enforcement Directorate has so far not found any “substantial direct transfers” from late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s bank accounts to those of his friend Rhea Chakraborty or her relatives. According to The Indian Express, the ED questioned Rhea for close to 18 hours in connection with the case. It was probing the extent of cash withdrawals made from Sushant’s accounts. However, citing sources, the newspaper said the agency did not find any major transfers. It found withdrawals worth Rs 55 lakh from Sushant’s primary account with Kotak Bank and was now trying to trace these.

In his complaint to the Bihar police, Sushant’s father had alleged that Rs 15 crore was taken out from his son’s account over the past year and transferred “to bank accounts of persons not known or connected to the late actor”. Two months into the tragic demise of the Bollywood star and actor investigations on the matter are still on with the ED digging into financial aspects of the case, the Mumbai Police carrying on their probe and the CBI also expected to formally step in and take over the matter. Meanwhile, Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde maintained that the allegations put on his client are unfair and false. He cited that the actor has been questioned by two agencies so far and nothing concrete has come out against her. Sushant's family has accused Rhea and five others of ‘abetment to suicide’, ‘theft’, besides other charges.
