Patna: Bihar Police have recorded the statement of Sushant Singh Rajput's friend and creative content manager Siddharth Pithani in connection with the actor's death, an official said on Tuesday.

A team of the Bihar Police is in Mumbai to probe Rajput's death after his father lodged a complaint in Patna against the late actor's friend Rhea Chakraborty and other members of her family for allegedly abetting his suicide.

Pithani was summoned by the Bihar Police team on Monday evening and his statement was recorded, the official said.

He was staying with the actor for the past one year, police earlier said.

Last week, Rajput's father Krishna Kumar Singh (74) lodged a complaint in Patna against Rhea Chakraborty and six others, including her family members, for alleged abetment to suicide.

Singh accused Chakraborty, a budding TV and film actor, of having befriended his son in May 2019 with the intention of furthering her own career.
