CBI team visits resort where Sushant-Rhea lived
A CBI team visited the Waterstone resort in Mumbai where Sushant and Rhea’s family had lived in last year, allegedly for SSR’s ‘spiritual healing.’ As per sources, the CBI team were not allowed in, so they left the venue.
Sushant’s family in the message to Bandra DCP Paramjit Singh in February 2020 alerting about a threat to Sushant’s life had spoken about this stay of Rhea’s family with Sushant at the resort.
“On the pretext of curing him of depression, she and family took him to a resort near the airport, and kept him there for months,” Sushant’s brother-in-law had written in the informal complaint on WhatsApp.
It added, “Since then, they are managing him and his business affairs. He is downhill since then.”
This is apart from the ED investigating details of the trip to Europe that Sushant and Rhea took in October last year. As per sources, Sushant had to forgo his professional commitments to be able to travel. Also, Republic TV has carried statements from numerous staff associated with Sushant, who claimed that they were sacked suddenly, and some claiming that Rhea was behind all these decisions.
