Mumbai, Aug 24 (UNI) A CBI team on Monday questioned the staff members of the Waterstone Resort in suburban Andheri, where late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput had apparently spent about two months.
Besides, actress Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik was also questioned by the visiting central agency team.
The CBI team was expected to summon the actress but Rhea's lawyers clarified that they have received no such notification from the investigative agency.
Rajput’s accountant Mewati, flat-mate Siddharth Pithani and cook Neeraj Singh were also questioned and their statements were recorded.
The CBI had questioned Pithani, Neeraj and Rajput’s domestic help Deepesh Sawant on Saturday and Sunday also.
These three were present in Rajput’s house at Mont Blanc Apartments in suburban Bandra when the 34-year-old actor was found hanging in his room on June 14.
On Sunday, the CBI team questioned Pithani, Neeraj and Sawant at the DRDO guest house and later took them to the late actor’s residence.
After spending three hours there, the central agency team left the place along with Pithani, Neeraj and Sawant, who were then again taken to the DRDO guest house in the evening for questioning, the official said.
Forensic science experts were also part of the CBI team which visited Rajput’s residence, the official said.
The Supreme Court last week upheld the transfer of an FIR -- lodged by Sushant’s father in Patna against Rhea Chakraborty and others for allegedly abetting his son's suicide -- to the CBI.
After Sushant was found hanging in his apartment in June, the Mumbai Police registered a case of accidental death.
Later, Sushant’s father filed a police complaint in Patna, accusing Chakraborty and her family of abetting the actor’s suicide and misappropriating his money.
