    Through last week, the ED had questioned Rhea Chakraborty (C).

    NEW DELHI: K K Singh, father of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday. The central probe agency recorded the statement of the 74-year-old in in connection with a money-laundering case probe, filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), linked to the actor's death.

    News agency PTI quoted officials as saying that Singh was questioned about the information that he has about Rajput's income, investments, professional assignments, and his statement recorded by the central agency.

    Through last week, the ED had questioned Rhea Chakraborty - with whom Rajput was in a relationship at the time of his death - and her family members including her father Indrajit Chakraborty, and brother Showik, Rajput's friend and flat-mate Siddharth Pithani, and his former talent manager. The agency had also questioned Rajput's elder sister Meetu at its office in Mumbai. Some of Rajput's friends who were also his business partners have also been summoned by the agency for questioning next week, officials added.

    On July 25, Singh had filed a criminal FIR with the Bihar Police in Patna against Chakraborty, her family and few others alleging that they had abetted his son's suicide.

    The 34-year-old actor was found hanging at his Bandra residence in Mumbai on June 14.

    Meanwhile, a statement put out by Chakraborty's counsel on Tuesday claimed that the model-actress "does not know and has never met Aaditya Thackeray till today."

    "Neither has she ever spoken to him telephonically or otherwise. Though she has heard of him as a leader of the Shiv Sena," a statement released by her lawyer, said.
