Sushant Singh Rajput case continues to grow murky, turning into a Bihar Police vs Mumbai Police jurisdictional battle.
Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Gupteshwar Pandey questioned the Mumbai Police as to why important leads were being hushed up.
As per TOI report, the DGP told the media that in the past 4 years, 50 crores were credited to SSR’s account but all of it was withdrawn. He also alleged that 15 crores were withdrawn in the last year alone.
“In the past four years, around Rs 50 crore was credited to the bank account of Sushant Singh Rajput but surprisingly all of it was withdrawn. In one year, Rs 17 crore was credited to his account, out of which Rs 15 crore was withdrawn. Isn’t this a crucial point to be investigated? We are not going to sit quite. We will question them(Mumbai Police) as to why such leads are hushed up.”
Commenting on the friction with Mumbai Police, Gupteshwar Pandey had also said – “Instead of sharing evidence or handing over the postmortem and forensic reports of Sushant, they (Mumbai) have almost house arrested our SP. I have not seen such non-cooperation by any other state police. If the Mumbai Police are sincere in their approach, they should share the investigation with us.”
On Monday, Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh said in a press conference that they had found 18 crores in Sushant’s account out of which 4.5 crores still remained. He also said that no direct transfer was found to Rhea’s account and they were still probing the matter.
“Bihar Police FIR says Rs 15 crores were siphoned off from Sushant’s account. During the probe, we found he had Rs 18 crores in his account of which around Rs 4.5 crore are still there. Till now no direct transfer to Rhea Chakraborty’s account has been found, still probing.”
Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate who had registered a money laundering case, has recorded the statement of Sushant’s chartered accountant, Sandeep Sridhar. He was asked about the late actor’s financial activities, including his income/expenditure/investments and business forays via firms over the past one year.
Earlier, Sridhar had told media that there was allegedly no major transfer, except for a few thousand, to Rhea’s account.
