ED to record Sushant's sister's statement; matching what Rhea Chakraborty said with others

In the latest update of the Enforcement Directorate's probe of Sushant Singh Rajput's bank and financial transactions, his former business manager and Rhea Chakraborty's current manager Shruti Modi has been summoned for questioning for the 3rd time. She had previously appeared before the officials for interrogation on Friday, Aug 7 and Monday, Aug 10. Subsequent to her interrogation on Monday, sources have informed that Modi has been asked to submit documents to the office.

Also, the ED will issue summons to the late actor's sister, Mitu Singh, who resides in Mumbai to record her statement. After Rhea Chakraborty was quizzed on Monday, the ED officers are now reportedly examining her statements in comparison with her father's, brother's and manager's statements to check for authenticity. Siddharth Pithani, Sushant's flatmate and alleged friend, was also questioned by the ED on Monday.
