In the latest development in the Rhea Chakraborty money laundering case, the Enforcement Directorate officials have revealed to Times Now that Sushant Singh Rajput allegedly paid Rs 62 lakh to a talent management agency that Rs 22 lakh to Rhea Chakraborty. As per the previous reports, a company had a contract with Sushant of Rs 2.05 crore to have events from Assam to Tamil Nadu. However, before the deal could happen, the money was reportedly transferred to Rhea’s account.
A day back, it was also alleged by Rhea to the ED officials that Sushant apparently continued to pay the installments of the flat in which Ankita Lokhande resided in Malad. However, Ankita countered the same allegations last night by sharing her bank statements and the flat registry that showed that the EMI’s were getting cut from her own account.
It was after Sushant’s father filed an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty and others in Patna and levelled several allegations against her as per the IPC, that the ED got involved to probe the money laundering angle. So far, Sushant’s sister Meetu Singh, his house staff and others too have been grilled by the ED in Sushant’s case. Meanwhile, after the FIR was filed in Patna, Rhea filed a plea in Supreme Court seeking a transfer of the case from Bihar to Mumbai. In the meantime, Bihar Government went ahead and recommended to the Centre to transfer the case to CBI. Now, CBI also has registered an FIR against Rhea and others and has begun a probe. Meanwhile, verdict of Rhea’s transfer plea is awaited. Sushant passed away on June 14, 2020.
