'Why call Sushant 25 times during Chandigarh trip?': SSR's sister busts Rhea's claim

In a series of tweets on Friday, Sushant Singh Rajput's sister Shweta Singh Kirti quashed Rhea Chakraborty's claims about the family not standing by the late actor. In interviews with several news channels on Thursday, Rhea portrayed Sushant as an individual with a “mental problem” and claimed the family was absent while the late actor was struggling with bipolarity.  

Countering Rhea's claims, Shweta shared a snip for her air ticket from San Francisco to Delhi dated January 26, when Shushant was visiting the family in Chandigarh. Shweta admitted to leaving her business and kids behind as soon as she learned about Sushant's trip and rushed to meet him but unfortunately, the actor had already left Chandigarh by the time she arrived because of Rhea's "constant pestering" and some work commitments.  

Shweta said that Sushant had made an SOS call to their sister Rani in January when "he was drugged, confined and isolated". She further added that Rhea had called Sushant 25 times in less than 2-3 days time frame during his Chandigarh trip, asking "what was the urgency to call him back?"

The 34-year-old actor's untimely death on June 14 sent shockwaves across the country. While the Mumbai Police only registered an Accidental Death Report, the Patna Police filed an FIR against actor Rhea Chakraborty and other persons based on the complaint of the Dil Bechara actor's father KK Singh. Sections 341 (Wrongful Restraint), 342 (wrongful confinement), 380 (theft), 406 (breach of trust), 420 (cheating), 306 (abetment to suicide) of the Indian Penal Code have been included in the FIR.

Additionally, the Enforcement Directorate has initiated a money laundering case against Chakraborty in connection with the Sushant death case. After the Bihar government's recommendation to transfer the case to the CBI, the agency formally registered an FIR. 6 persons including Rhea Chakraborty have been named as accused. Post the Supreme Court's order rejecting Chakraborty's transfer petition, the CBI commenced its investigation in Mumbai. Meanwhile, the Narcotics Control Bureau has also registered a case against Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and others under Sections 20, 22, 27 and 29 of the NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Act.
