As per Times Now, the ED's aim to probe Samuel is to understand Sushant's daily expenditure and probe if there were any financial irregularities. As reported earlier, the ED is also probing the two companies that were started by Sushant and which name Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik Chakraborty as the directors of these firms. While the companies have no employees, the ED is probing if they were solely constructed for the purpose of siphoning off the actor's money. 

The ED came into the picture after Sushant's father KK Singh filed an FIR with the Patna Police and claimed that close to Rs 15 crore were siphoned off from the late actor's bank account. In fact, he had also alerted the Bandra Police in February 2020 about the actor's life being in danger.

On the other hand, WhatsApp messages of Sushant's sister Priyanka to their brother-in-law OP Singh have now revealed Samuel Miranda, a certain Shruti and Rhea's name. In the text message, Priyanka calls Miranda and Shruti as 'stooges' who harassed the actor 'monetarily, mentally and physically'.
