Rhea Chakraborty under 'our watch', say Bihar cops on Sushant death case

A Bihar police team visiting Mumbai over the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput commented on the charges levelled against the late actor's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty.

Bihar police has gotten involved in the case after a complaint was filed by Sushant's father, KK Singh, against Rhea, accusing her of conspiring to seize the late actor's assets and putting him under mental stress.

The probe team said that it's keeping a 'watch' on Rhea.

They also visited the residence of film director Rumi Jaffery.

Bihar police also denied that Mumbai police, which was the first to start probing the death, were trying to hinder their investigation.

Meanwhile, Gupteshwar Pandey, Director General of Police, Bihar, rejected calls for handing over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation.

He said that the police force was confident of investigating the case, but if Sushant's family wanted, it could seek a CBI probe.

Sushant was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.

Although the cause is considered suicide, Mumbai police is probing the incident and has recorded the statements over around 40 people, including Rhea and other Bollywood personalities like film-maker Mahesh Bhatta and Dharma Productions CEO Apoorva Mehta.
