He was also questioned about the contract details when working with Sushant, and the mode of payment of his salary. Previously, as per sources, Rhea, who has been accused of embezzlement to the tune of Rs 15 crore by Sushant’s father KK Singh, made inconsistent and unsatisfactory statements when asked about her properties, sources of income and bank statements. Her statements were not in line with the statements of the CAs. Moreover, the change of the IP address of the one of the four companies, that Rhea founded along with Sushant, 17 times, as late as August 7, and the website being pulled down raised eyebrows.
