The
CBI,
which
has
stepped
in
to
probe
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death,
is
questioning
the
late
actor's
flatmate
Siddharth
Pithani
and
cook
Neeraj.
During
the
questioning,
Siddharth
reportedly
informed
that
Rhea
Chakraborty
and
Sushant
destroyed
8
hard
drives
in
Sushant's
residence,
before
Rhea
left
to
her
house.
According
to
India
Today,
Pithani
informed
the
CBI
that
on
June
8,
before
leaving
Sushant's
house,
Rhea
and
Sushant
wiped
out
8
hard
drives.
He
said
that
he
was
not
aware
of
the
content
of
those
hard
drives,
but
claimed
that
an
IT
professional
was
present
to
destroy
it.
Pithani
also
reportedly
said
that
both
Rhea
and
Sushant
were
in
the
room
watching
the
hard
drives
be
destroyed.
He
also
said
that
Sushant's
house
help
Dipesh
Sawant,
and
cook
Neeraj
were
also
present.
However,
it
is
not
clear
who
called
the
IT
professional.
It
has
also
been
reported
that
Rhea
broke
up
with
Sushant
on
June
8,
days
before
the
latter's
death
on
June
14.
In
its
report,
India
Today
makes
a
supposition
that
Rhea
and
Sushant
may
have
decided
to
delete
personal
information
that
may
have
been
on
the
hard
drives.
However,
Rhea's
lawyers
have
asserted
that
Sushant
asked
Rhea
to
leave
as
his
sister
Meetu
Singh
was
visiting
him
on
June
8.
"Sushant
had
been
calling
his
family,
tell
them
he
was
moving
out
of
Mumbai
and
requesting
them
to
come
meet
him.
After
several
days
of
Sushant
calling
and
crying
over
the
phone,
his
sister
Meetu
agreed
to
come
live
with
him
on
June
8,
2020.
Sushant
then
requested
Rhea
to
move
in
with
her
parents
for
the
time
being," the
lawyer
was
quoted
as
saying
by
India
Today.
As
of
now,
a
Special
Investigation
Team
of
the
CBI
has
questioned
Siddharth
Pithani,
Neeraj,
Sushant's
CA
Sandeep
Sridhar,
and
his
former
accountant
Rajat
Mewati.
Meanwhile,
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
has
also
joined
the
investigations
after
an
alleged
drug
angle
emerged
in
Sushant's
death
case.
