Rhea Chakraborty and Showik reached the DRDO guest house in Kalina at around 11.30 am. The CBI recreated the crime scene in front of the key witnesses and also grilled them separately. According to sources the agency found several inconsistencies in their statements. The multiple CBI teams have gathered all evidence available to them and questioned almost every person relevant to the case.

Showik was first called on Thursday. According to sources, the agency was focusing on the actor's health, as it has been claimed that he started feeling unwell after a Europe tour where Showik was also present. This is also why he was first questioned separately. When Rhea arrived on Friday, the CBI had their list of long questions which included overdosing, drugs, finance and their relationship. She was grilled in the presence of IPS officer SP Nupur Prasad.

The CBI has also focused on the sequence of events on June 8 when she left Sushant's house. In the statement to Mumbai police, she had said that Sushant Singh Rajput asked her to leave. However, the messages on the same day between her and Mahesh Bhatt have also surfaced, which indicate that she left him on her own. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Goa-based hotelier Gaurav Aarya whose name has surfaced in a WhatsApp chat with Rhea about drugs.
