Mumbai: Sushant Singh Rajput’s flatmate Siddharth Pithani arrived today at DRDO guesthouse where the SIT Team of the CBI has been residing in Mumbai. He has been called for yet another round of interrogation, after the CBI found 'some inconsistencies' in his statements. The premiere team once more visited the Waterstone resort, where the Bollywood star stayed for two months.

According to sources Pithani, late actor's cook Neeraj Singh and house staff Dipesh Sawant, who were also questioned earlier on Sunday after the agency had found some stark differences and inconsistencies in their statements, were, around 2.30 p.m., taken to the Bandra flat to be questioned separately on the chain of events on June 13 and 14.

Mumbai Police personnel, who had visited Sushant's flat on June 14 when the actor was found dead, were also present with the CBI and the forensic team.

The CBI has questioned Pithani and Neeraj thrice since Thursday after the team arrived in Mumbai from Delhi, as it seeks to ascertain what really happened between June 8-14, when his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty left and who all visited late actor's Bandra residence.

Apparently, the topmost forensic team will also interrogate the statements of those who were at the scene before the police could arrive.

The Special Investigative Team (SIT) members also collected statements recorded by Mumbai Police apart from the evidence that they have collected in their two-months of investigation.

Earlier, the team visited the Waterstone resort and probed for over two hours to determine how Sushant was behaving when he was staying there.

In the coming days, the team is soon expected to question Rhea and her family members. However, Rhea's lawyer Satish Maneshinde has revealed that his client is not yet summoned by the CBI.

An agency source also said the CBI will ask for the call detail records of Sushant, Rhea and others.

The CBI had taken over the probe on August 6 on the orders of the Supreme Court following a recommendation by the Bihar government in wake of an FIR lodged by Sushant's father, K.K. Singh, at Patna's Rajiv Nagar police station on July 25.

The case was registered against Rhea, her father Indrajit, mother Sandhya, brother Showik, Sushant's former manager Shruti Modi and house manager Samuel Miranda and unknown persons.

The Enforcement Directorate is also probing a money laundering angle in the matter.
