Turning the heat on the Sushant Singh Rajput's case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has again summoned Rhea Chakraborty's Chartered Accountant, Ritesh Shah, on Monday to investigate the money laundering angle. Reportedly, this is for the third time when Rhea's CA will be grilled by ED.
Ritesh Shah will be interrogated regarding cash transactions from Rhea's account in HDFC Bank. He will also be questioned about the actor's income and the endorsement that she received from a talent agency. Besides this, the ED will quiz Shah on the property papers of Rhea’s Khar (East) residence.
Besides this, the law enforcement agency is expected to quiz Ritesh Shah on the documents pertaining to Vividrage Rhealityx Private Limited, a company which was founded by Sushant in 2019, whose director was Rhea Chakraborty.
Previously, ED had summoned Rhea’s accountant twice on similar grounds. It is important to note that the ED had recorded the statements of Rhea, her CA, and Sushant’s CA regarding the bank transactions, but their statements did not match, sources said.
Two other important aspects to note here are that Rhea has allegedly been unable to match her income with some of her investments, holdings, and expenses, and the website of her company Rhealityx has also been taken down amid ED questioning. Sushant's bank statements had earlier detailed extravagant spending for Rhea and even her brother. Two prime properties that Rhea has purchased in Mumbai are still unexplained, however, along with much else. The Rhealityx website hosted two email ids - of Sushant and Showik.
