The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has rejected actor Rhea Chakrborty's request seeking exemption from appearing before the agency in its money laundering probe until her plea in the Supreme Court is heard, Republic TV has reported.
The ED had earlier asked her to appear before it at its Mumbai office today (7 August) which led to a protest by the actor who in-turn sought an exemption in an e-mail sent to the agency. Chakraborty's manager Shruti Modi has also been summoned by the ED.
These summons come after the ED filed a case of money laundering over transactions worth Rs 15 crore related to the alleged suicide of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
The ED sought details of the FIR registered against Rhea by the Bihar Police and the details of two companies owned by Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea’s family from the banks.
The ED has also sought details of the financial transactions of the Vividrage Rhealityx, in which she is a director, and Front India For World, in which her brother Showik is a director, the source added.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
