Samuel Miranda was hired by Sushant’s sister. Dipesh was already known by the late actor. Keshav and Neeraj were also hired by Sushant. It was Sushant who introduced me to his staff.”\Earlier, Sushant’s kin have blamed the Chakraborty family for his death and allegedly swindling off Rs 15 crore from his bank account, but Rhea has denied all the accusations.
