The ED came into the picture two days ago and asked the Bihar Police for a copy of the FIR that was filed by Sushant Singh Rajput's father KK Singh. The ED will be investigating Sushant's two companies, Vividrage RhealityX Pvt. and Front India for World Foundation, which had girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty as the director and her brother Showik Chakraborty as the director of both the firms. As per reports, the address of both these companies is registered on a home address in Navi Mumbai which is owned by Rhea and Showik's father Indrajit Chakraborty.

On Thursday, Bihar Police officials were snapped visiting Sushant's banks and inquiring about transactions and investments. At the moment, the Mumbai Police is probing the professional rivalry angle and seems to have stepped up its investigation after receiving much flak. The Bihar Police is probing all the allegations levelled against Rhea and the ED will be probing the money laundering angle. 

However, fans and personalities like Kangana Ranaut, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy and Shekhar Suman among others have been rallying for a CBI probe in the matter. Sushant Singh Rajput passed away due to suicide on 14 June, 2020.
