is
probing
the

the
actor
under

14.
Early
this
week,
the
agency
had
recorded
the
statement
of
Rajput's
father
K
K
Singh
in
this
case.
The
father
had
on

25
filed
a

with
the
Bihar
Police
in
Patna
against
Rajput's
friend
and
live-in
partner
Rhea
Chakraborty,
her
family
members
including
mother
Sandhya
Chakraborty
and
brother
Showik,
Rajput's
manager
Samuel
Miranda
and
Shruti
Modi
and
unknown
persons
accusing
them
of
cheating
and
abetting
his
son's

The
Bihar
police

lodged
a
criminal

on
the
complaint.
The
ED
case

criminal
provisions
of
the
Prevention

on
the

Last

and
flat
mate
Siddharth
Pithani

The
CBI
had
re-registered
the
Bihar
police's
FIR
as
a
fresh
case
and

the
same
people
as
accused.
The

Wednesday
gave
its
nod
to
the
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
(CBI)
to
go
ahead
and
launch
its
investigation
in
the
case.
Singh
has
also
alleged
financial
irregularities
in
his
complaint
to
the
police.
In
the
complaint,
Singh
alleged
that
an
amount
of
Rs
15
crore
was
siphoned
off
from
Rajput's
bank
account
in
one
year
to
accounts
of
persons
not
known
or
connected
to
the
late
actor.
