The family of late Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput has declared their intention to legally contest the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) closure report regarding his death, branding it as an “eyewash” and maintaining that the investigation has not been thorough.
The closure report concludes that Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise was a suicide, and found no indications of criminal involvement from Rhea Chakraborty, her family, or associates. The agency specifically stated that:
-
There was no unlawful confinement, provocation, or encouragement leading Sushant to take his life.
-
There were no signs of financial discrepancies or theft. According to the report, when Rhea and her brother Showik vacated Sushant’s apartment on June 8, 2020, they took only personal items, including a laptop and watch gifted by Sushant.
Timeline Surrounding Sushant’s Passing
The report delineates crucial moments from June 8–14, 2020:
-
Rhea and Showik had limited interaction with Sushant, comprising a brief WhatsApp conversation on June 10.
-
Sushant’s sister, Meetu Singh, was with him from June 8 to June 12.
-
His manager, Shruti Modi, had not entered the apartment since February due to an injury.
The CBI uncovered no digital or physical proof that Rhea or other accused influenced Sushant's actions leading to his death.
Allegations of Threats and Confinement
Sushant’s family charged that Rhea made threats concerning his medical records. However, the CBI dismissed these claims as “hearsay,” noting a lack of evidence, such as messages or recordings.
Furthermore, the closure report assertively states that there is no evidence indicating Sushant was unlawfully confined or restrained in any way.
Family’s Rejection of CBI Findings
The family of Sushant Singh Rajput, represented by Advocate Varun Singh, has firmly refuted the findings of the report, labeling it as “incomplete” and missing crucial documentation. They contend that conversations, technical details, and medical records were omitted from the closure report.
Referring to the report as “flimsy” and “legally untenable,” the family insists that the investigation was insufficient. They are preparing to file a protest petition to reopen the case, and vow to continue their pursuit of the truth until resolutions are reached.
Should the court accept the protest petition, this could prompt new legal proceedings or even a court-monitored re-investigation. While the CBI has ruled out foul play, Rajput’s family maintains that the investigation is incomplete and seeks further legal examination.
