Ahead of the big Supreme Court verdict on actor Rhea Chakraborty's petition seeking transfer of investigation in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case from Patna in Bihar to the Maharashtra Police, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) probing the financial angle has found out that in a short period of time, "big cash withdrawals" are visible in the accounts of the late actor. 

Rs 60 lakhs in cash withdrawn

According to top ED sources, in totality, almost Rs 60 lakhs in cash have been withdrawn from Sushant Singh Rajput's account. The ED is investigating the rationale behind such cash withdrawals, sources said. Both ATM and self cheque withdrawals are visible, they added.

The Enforcement Directorate has found inconsistencies in statements of Rhea Chakraborty and others quizzed in the case. Rhea has been questioned twice, and sources said that she may be summoned again. Her brother Showik Chakraborty has been questioned thrice, her business manager Shruti Modi has been summoned twice.
