According to the official, from the DRDO guesthouse, she left for her residence in suburban Santacruz in theevening but could not enter the premises due to presence of alarge number of media persons outside the building.

She did not step out of the car and directly reachedthe Santacruz police station to lodge a complaint, he said. It was the second complaint lodged by Rhea Chakraborty against media persons.

Around half-a-dozen police officials then reached her building and facilitated her entry, he said. Earlier, the actress along with her brother Showik Chakraborty reached the guesthouse around 11 am and left from there at about 7.30 pm.

Her brother is being questioned by the CBI since last Thursday. In the last four days, Rhea Chakraborty has been grilled for around 35 hours.

Four women constables from the Vakola Police Station were present during the interrogation of Rhea Chakraborty, the official said. Rajput was found hanging in his apartment following which the Mumbai Police had registered a case of accidental death.
