Mumbai : The Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned Showik Chakraborty, brother of actor Rhea Chakraborty, for about 18 hours in connection with a money laundering case linked to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, officials said on Sunday.


Showik left the central investigative agency’s office here in the Ballard Estate area around 6.30 am after an overnight questioning session that began around noon on Saturday.


Officials said Showik’s statement was recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and he was asked about his personal businesses, income, investments and financial dealings with his sister and Rajput.


He was grilled by the agency for a few hours on August 7 as well. On the same day, his sister and prime accused in the case Rhea (28) was questioned by the agency for the first time for about eight hours.

Rhea and her father Indrajit Chakraborty have been summoned to appear before the agency again on Monday.


Meanwhile, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday claimed “pressure tactics” were being used in the Sushant’s death case and the issue was being politicised as part of a conspiracy against Maharashtra. “It is wrong to see the unfortunate suicide of the actor from a political angle,” Raut said in his weekly column “Rokhthok” in the party mouthpiece “Saamana”

“If one wants to indulge in politicisation and pressure tactics, anything can happen in our country. It looks like the script of Sushant's case was already written. Whatever has happened behind the curtains is a conspiracy against Maharashtra,” Raut said.
