ED Files Money Laundering Case Against Rhea Chakraborty

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has lodged a money laundering case against Rhea Chakraborty in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. Top officials in the probe agency have confirmed that Rhea and her other family members have been booked by ED under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday had sought details from the police in connection with the FIR lodged in connection with Sushant's death case. In the complaint, filed by Sushant father KK Singh, he alleged defraud of Rs 15 crore by Rhea and her family members.

A top official in the financial probe agency told India Today, "After going through the details, we have lodged the case. In coming days, Rhea, along with others, will be summoned for questioning."

In the complaint, Sushant's father had said, "In 2019, Sushant had Rs 17 crore in his account but within months Rs 15 crore was transferred to the accounts not linked to him. It should be investigated that how much of that money has been defrauded by Rhea and her associates."

ED sources have told India Today that their probe will be focused on the allegations of Rs 15 crore defraud and others. Bihar police on Thursday sought details from Sushant's bank.

Sushant's family has also alleged that Rhea was misusing Sushant's money and his credit cards.
