New Delhi: Actor Rhea Chakraborty on Thursday said there was a threat to her and her family’s life and requested the Mumbai police for protection. She posted a video on her verified Instagram account showing her father Indrajit Chakraborty being surrounded by media personnel in the compound of her apartment.
She said the family needs to step out to cooperate with Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and other authorities and the mob makes it difficult.
“This is inside my building compound, The man in this video is my father Indrajit Chakraborty. We have been trying to get out of our house to cooperate with ED, CBI, and various investigation authorities. There is a threat to my life and my family’s life,” Chakraborty wrote in the caption.

The ED had on July 31 registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in the late actor’s death case after a First Information Report (FIR) was filed by Rajput’s father KK Singh against actor Rhea Chakraborty in Bihar on July 28.
On August 19, the Supreme Court had asked the probe agency to investigate the case related to the actor’s death, while holding that the FIR registered in Patna was legitimate.
The agency has registered an FIR against Chakraborty and others in connection with the actor’s death after the Centre accepted Bihar government’s recommendation to transfer the probe in the matter from Patna.
Rajput was found dead at his residence on June 14.
