The Indian Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has submitted its closure report in the Actor Sushant Singh Rajput case, stating that no evidence was found to suggest external involvement in his death.
With this, Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty and her family have been officially cleared of all allegations.
Reacting to the report, Rhea’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, criticized the misinformation spread on social media. “After nearly four years, the CBI has thoroughly investigated all aspects of the case. The false narratives propagated during the pandemic led to innocent people being unfairly targeted. I hope such incidents do not recur,” he stated.
He further urged media introspection, highlighting Rhea’s ordeal, including her 27-day custody. “Justice Sarang V. Kotwal granted her bail, yet she and her family endured inhumane treatment. Despite threats, we remained committed to seeking justice,” he added, emphasizing his pride in defending a military family pro bono.
Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, was found dead in his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. His postmortem at Cooper Hospital confirmed asphyxia as the cause of death. (Gulf News)
