The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Bollywood actor Rhea Chakraborty on Friday for questioning in connection with a money laundering probe related to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s case, officials said on Wednesday.

A senior ED official told IANS: “The agency has asked her to present herself at our Mumbai office to get her statement recorded in the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case.”

Earlier in the day, the ED questioned Sushant’s house manager Samuel Miranda in the case. Miranda is the third person to be questioned by the agency in the matter.

The ED had on Tuesday grilled Rhea’s chartered accountant Ritesh Shah. On Monday, the agency had questioned Sushant’s CA Sandeep Sridhar.

The action comes in the wake of a case registered by the ED on Friday last against Rhea and her family members.

The ED’s money laundering case pertains to transactions involving Rs 15 crore and allegedly related to the ‘suicide’ of Sushant Singh.

The development comes after an FIR was lodged by Sushant’s father KK Singh in Patna against Rhea, accusing her of cheating and threatening his son. Sushant’s family has also accused her of keeping him away from his family.

The ED named Rhea and her family members in the case on the basis of the police FIR.

The official said that the central agency will summon a number of people for questioning in the case in the coming days.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has since received a notification from the government to register a case.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are being extra cautious during the Covid pandemic.

The 38-year-old actress opened up on how the couple is coping during the global health crisis in an interview to People magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“I’m asthmatic and my husband’s type 1 diabetic, so we have to be even more careful. But there have been a lot of Zoom calls and Zoom brunches. We have a really large friends and family group, and I’ve had a lot of birthdays in my family that have happened recently, so we’ve done a few socially distanced lunches,” she said.

“If you have the ability to have a human connection with friends, family, whether that’s virtually or whether that’s in a socially distant way, I think that’s really important to feel a sense of normalcy,” she added.

The actress married pop star Nick in 2018. She also revealed how she has been focusing on her career and family during the pandemic.

She said: “As a creative person, for me, a lot of projects ended up happening during this quarantine. I’ve been developing shows and movies, writing, and I finished my memoir. It’s been a creatively sound time, besides being absolutely strange.”
