Rhea not missing hasn't got summons from Bihar cops Lawyer

    Mumbai, Aug 3 (PTI) Actor Rhea Chakrabortys advocate
on Monday refuted Bihar Polices claim that she was "missing",
and said till date she has not received any summons from them
in connection with the case of actor-friend Sushant Singh
Rajput's death.
    The Bihar Police last week lodged an FIR against
Chakraborty for allegedly abetting Rajput's suicide.
    The complaint was filed by Rajput's father K K Singh
against Chakraborty and other members of her family.
    The Bihar Police earlier said their team had failed to
locate Chakraborty.
    However, her advocate Satish Maneshinde in a statement
said, "The contention of Bihar police that Rhea Chakraborty is
missing is not correct. Till today, no notice or summons has
been received by her from the Bihar police."
    Chakraborty's statement has already been recorded by
the Mumbai Police, Maneshinde said.
    "She has cooperated with the police as and when
called, the statement said.
    Maneshinde in the statement reiterated that the Bihar
Police do not have jurisdiction to probe the case and hence,
Chakraborty has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking
transfer of the case to Mumbai.
    Rajput, 34, was found hanging at his apartment in
suburban Bandra on June 14.
    Mumbai Police had registered an Accidental Death
Report (ADR) and an investigation is underway in the case.
    Till now, the Mumbai Police have recorded statements
of 56 people, including Rajput's sisters, Chakraborty and some
other film personalities.
    A Bihar Police team is also in Mumbai for probing the
'abetment to suicide' case on the basis of a complaint filed
by the late actor's father in Patna. PTI SP
