"The team has gone to serve the summons for joining investigation. She(Rhea) can come on her own or she can come with the team," a senior official of the federal anti-narcotics agency said. As per news report of PTI, a team led by NCB joint director Sameer Wankhede reached Rhea's house located in Santa Cruz (west) area accompanied by local police and some women personnel. The team left after some time and it is expected that Rhea will appear before the agency later in the day, they said. Despite reports from sources close to the investigation indicating that Sushant had only recently returned from Finland, where he underwent rehabilitation for substance dependency at the Medilux clinic, he was allowed to move freely, in the hope that he would not leave the country again. His stay abroad was reportedly kept confidential in order to protect his public image. Investigators are now examining whether this trip and the course of treatment may have any relevance to the ongoing probe.
