new Delhi . The Enforcement Directorate can file another case based on the findings of the NCB in the case of the death of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. While the ED is already investigating the case of money laundering. The case was registered by the ED following a complaint made by Sushant’s father to the Bihar Police, which accused him of transferring Rs 15 crore from the deceased actor’s account to other bank accounts.
On the other hand, NCB on Tuesday arrested the late actor’s girlfriend Riya Chakraborty and questioned him.
A top ED official has said that the Financial Investigation Agency is seeking legal advice to file a new case based on the findings of the NCB, as the NCB case has been registered under the NDPS Act.
The officer said, “Earlier we had registered a case based on a complaint by K.K.Singh, which was related to withdrawal of money from Sushant’s bank account. While the new case would be based on the findings of the NCB, as it led to several arrests. Huh.”
He further said that the ED will also look into the angle of money earned through drug smuggling and drug procurement. Another official said that the money that came through the sale, purchase and smuggling of drugs would be considered criminal proceeds in the new case.
The officer also said, “We will take a copy of his investigation from NCB and then study it. After that we will decide to register a new case.”
Please tell that Sushant was found dead in his flat in Bandra on 14 June. Three mysterious investigative agencies are investigating his mysterious death.
The NCB has registered a case against Riya, her brother Shovik, Goa-based hotelier Gaurav Arya, talent manager Jaya Saha and Sushant’s home manager Samuel Miranda among others.
The agency has also arrested Riya, Shovik, Miranda and Deepesh Sawant on charges of purchasing drugs. A Mumbai court has sent Riya to judicial custody till 22 September.
