After the unverified revelations regarding the mental health of the late actor, a lot of speculation was raised in the media over the reliability of the revelations made by Moffat and if she was qualified to make such a statement about Rajput's mental health, the letter stated.

"The guidelines of the Rehabilitation center categorically mention that a person with a qualified degree in Clinical psychology from a university in abroad shall only be allowed to practice as a psychologist and other allied areas in India if he/she passes the examination prescribed by the RCI for this purpose" the letter stated.

Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty on Saturday shared pages from her diary with Sushant's notes on it. Titled 'Gratitude List', the pages shared by Rhea show in Sushant's handwriting that he had been grateful for Rhea, her family, and his pet dog Fudge. Also obliquely commenting on the accusations of owning "properties" in Mumbai with Sushant's money, she shared a picture of Sushant's water flask- his film Chhichhore's merchandise. With a picture of Sushant's water bottle, it appears that Rhea has advertently said, "The only property of Sushant that I possess."

Chakraborty on Friday was interrogated by Enforcement Directorate's regarding money laundering allegations from the late actor's account. She has been questioned by the ED officials about the dubious transactions from Sushant's account amid the nationwide lockdown as various sources have claimed that she controlled the late actor's finances. She also allegedly possesses two prime properties in Mumbai despite a meagre net worth, as per her Income Tax records.

She was quizzed for over 8 hours and left from the Enforcement Directorate office, late in the evening on Friday.
