New Delhi : The Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned Showik Chakraborty, brother of actor and alleged girlfriend of late Sushant Singh Rajput, Rhea Chakraborty, for about 18 hours over night.
According to reports, ED grilled Rhea's brother for about 18 hours in connection with a money laundering case in connection to Sushant's death case.
Showik left the central investigative agency's office here in the Ballard Estate area around 6:30 AM after an overnight questioning session that began around noon on Saturday.
He was grilled by the agency for a few hours on August 7 as well. On the same day, his sister and prime accused in the case Rhea (28) was questioned by the agency for the first time for about eight hours.
Officials said Showik's statement was recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and he was asked about his personal businesses, income, investments and financial dealings with his sister and Rajput.

The ED, during the questioning sessions, is learnt to have confronted Rhea, Showik and Modi with certain bank statements that purportedly show transfer of small amounts into Showik's accounts from those of Rajput and Chakraborty.
The agency had also summoned Rajput's friend and roommate Siddharth Pithani to appear before it on Saturday in connection with the money laundering case that stems from the complaint filed by the actor's father with the Bihar Police in connection with his death, according to reports.

The Centre said that transfer of Patna FIR to the CBI in the case makes it "a necessary and proper party" to Rhea's plea pending in the apex court.
The plea has been filed through DoPT's under secretary Satya Prakash Ram Tripathi.
