Ms Chakraborty’s statement has already been recorded by Mumbai police, Mr Maneshinde said.
“She cooperated with the police as her appeal progressed,” the statement said.
Mr Maneshinde in the statement reiterated that the Bihar police were not competent to investigate the case and therefore Rhea Chakraborty filed a petition to the Supreme Court requesting the transfer of the case to Mumbai.
Suspect Singh Rajput, 34, was found hanged from his apartment on June 14.
So far, Mumbai Police have taken statements from 56 people, including Mr Rajput’s sisters, Rhea Chakraborty and other movie figures.
A Bihar police team is also in Mumbai to investigate the “incitement to suicide” case on the basis of a complaint filed by the father of the deceased actor in Patna.
