  • Rajput (34) had been found hanging at his Mumbai flat on June 14. While the initial probe by the Mumbai Police suggested suicide, the case was transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) amid allegations of foul play.

    Chakraborty was accused by the family for abetting Rajput's suicide and illegally transferring Rs. 15 crore from his account. This led to an ED probe.
