CBI Closes Sushant Singh Rajput Case After Four Years
In a significant development, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has submitted a closure report in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, concluding a four-year investigation. The agency found no evidence of foul play, clearing actress Rhea Chakraborty and others of any wrongdoing. The report addresses allegations made by Rajput’s father against Chakraborty and her counterclaims against Rajput’s family.
Investigation Background and Findings
Sushant Singh Rajput, a prominent Bollywood actor, was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14, 2020. His untimely death shocked fans and sparked numerous conspiracy theories, including claims of black magic. Following his death, the Bihar Police initiated an investigation based on a complaint from Rajput’s father, KK Singh, who accused Chakraborty of mental harassment and financial exploitation.
In August 2020, the CBI took over the investigation from the Bihar Police. Over the course of four years, the agency conducted extensive inquiries, including forensic examinations of the crime scene. They seized various items, including a laptop, hard drives, and mobile phones, for analysis. A forensic team from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) concluded that Rajput’s death was a suicide, not murder.
After thorough investigations, the CBI found no evidence implicating anyone in Rajput’s death. This included absolving Chakraborty and her family from any accusations made in the two FIRs filed in the case. The agency’s findings have led to a sense of closure for many involved, though the case has remained a topic of public interest and speculation.
Legal Proceedings and Next Steps
Following the submission of the closure report, the Bandra magistrate court has scheduled a hearing for April 8. The court’s approval of the closure report will officially conclude the case. This marks a pivotal moment in a case that has drawn significant media attention and public scrutiny since Rajput’s death.
Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, expressed gratitude to the CBI for their thorough investigation. He criticized the false narratives that emerged during the case, stating that they caused undue distress to innocent individuals. Maneshinde highlighted the challenges Chakraborty faced, including spending 27 days in jail before being granted bail. He urged for a more responsible approach to media coverage in future cases.
Public Reaction and Ongoing Discussion
The closure of the Sushant Singh Rajput case has reignited discussions about mental health and the pressures faced by public figures. Fans and supporters continue to express their grief over Rajput’s passing, while others reflect on the impact of media narratives surrounding the investigation. The case has highlighted the need for sensitivity in reporting and the importance of mental health awareness in the entertainment industry.
