In a new development in Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has given its closure report after investigation. CBI declared that there’s no evidence to suggest that the late actor was illegally confined, threatened, or provoked/abetted to commit suicide by his then-girlfriend. However, the late actor’s family and legal team have decided to file a protest petition against this closure report and called the investigation ‘shoddy’.
According to Hindustan Times, lawyer Varun Singh slammed the closure report and said, “This is nothing but an eyewash. If CBI really wanted to come out with the truth, it would have submitted all the supporting case documents, including chats, technical records, statements of witnesses, medical records, etc in the court along with the final (closure) report, which they have not done. We will file a protest petition against this closure report, which is based on a shoddy investigation.”
As per the closure report, CBI has declared that Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide.
According to Hindustan Times, an officer said in the closure report, “Investigation revealed that Sushant had committed suicide. None of the accused persons had lived/stayed with him between June 8, 2020 and June 14, 2020 (the day he was found hanging in his Bandra flat). Rhea and her brother Showik left the house on June 8, and thereafter didn’t visit the house. Sushant had spoken to Showik on June 10 through WhatsApp at 1441 hours but had no conversations with Rhea between June 8 and June 14. Evidence had not come on record to show the meeting of Sushant with Rhea or any of her family members of being in touch by any other means. Shruti Modi had stopped visiting Sushant’s house since she fractured her leg in February. Furthermore, Meetu Singh (sister of Sushant) had stayed with him in his flat from June 8 to June 12.”
Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14, 2020.
