SSR's dad attempted to know details of treatment from Rhea Chakraborty

Late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's father K.K. Singh had tried to contact his son's live-in partner Rhea Chakraborty to know the details of his son's ongoing medical treatment at that time, WhatsApp messages shared with the media showed.

The actress, who is now the prime accused in the death case of Sushant, did not respond to any of the messages.

Besides Rhea, Sushant's father also tried to connect with his son's former manager Shruti Modi and even she did not revert back to him. Modi is a co-accused in the case filed by Singh at a Patna police station on July 25. She was also both Sushant and Rhea's manager.

The ED and the CBI are probing the death of the late actor on the complaint of Singh filed at the Rajeev Nagar police station. Sushant and his family hail from Purnea district in Bihar. Both the agencies have taken over the probe on the basis of the Bihar Police FIR.

Singh in his message to Rhea at 12.34 p.m. on November 29 last year asked her to share the details of his son's treatment.

In the message to Rhea, Singh said, "Jab tum jan gaee ki hum Sushant ka papa hun to baat kyu nahi ki. Aakhir baat kya hai. Friend bankar uska dekhbhal aur uska elaj karba rahi ho to mera bhi farj banta hai ki Sushant ke bare me jankari mujhe bhi rahe. Esliye call kar mujhe bhi sari jankari do.''

The revelations come in the backdrop of regular questioning of Rhea and her family members besides Modi, and others associated with Sushant by the ED. The CBI on Monday visited the Faridabad home of the late actor's brother-in-law, O.P. Singh, who is a top police officer in Haryana. They recorded the statement of Sushant's father and sister in connection with the case.

According to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sources, the family members have claimed that Sushant's death was not suicide but a murder. However, the CBI officials remained tight-lipped on the development.

The father had also tried to contact Modi, on the same day he whatsapped Rhea, November 29, asking her to book a flight ticket for Singh so that he could come to Mumbai.

Singh wrote to Shruti Modi, 18 minutes before messaging Rhea. In the message, he said: "Mai janta hu ki Sushant ke sare karj aur use bhi tum hi dekhti ho. Wah abhi kis stithi me hai, iske liye bat karna chah rahe the. Kal Sushant se baat hui thi to usne kaha tha ki main bahut pareshan hu.

"Ab tum socho ki ek pita ko kitni chinta hogi uske liye. Esliye tumse bat karna chah raha tha. Ab tum bat nahi kar rahi ho to mai Mumbai jana chahta hu. Flight ka ticket bhej do."

For the first time on Tuesday, the ED has called Sushant's sister Mitu Singh to record her statement with the agency. A top ED official said that Mitu Singh will be recording her statement later in the day. (IANS)
