MUMBAI, Oct 23 : Five years after actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely death, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has submitted its closure report, giving a clean chit to actress Rhea Chakraborty and her family.
The CBI report states that there is no evidence to suggest that Rhea Chakraborty harassed Sushant or abetted his suicide. However, Sushant’s family has expressed strong dissatisfaction, terming the report incomplete and alleged attempts to suppress the truth.
Sushant, who gained fame through the television serial Pavitra Rishta before transitioning successfully to Hindi films, was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. His death sparked nationwide outrage and a multi-agency investigation, eventually handed over to the CBI.
The investigation noted that when Rhea left Sushant’s residence, she took only her laptop and a wristwatch, both gifts from the actor. The agency clarified that Sushant considered Rhea part of his family, and her expenses could not be treated as financial fraud.
All of Sushant’s financial transactions were managed by his chartered accountant and lawyer, with no evidence indicating that Rhea or any other accused played a role in abetting his suicide.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for December 20, when the court will decide on the acceptance of the CBI’s closure report.
