Sushant Singh Rajput death case

In 2020, Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his Bandra apartment in Mumbai.

While several called Sushant Singh Rajput's death a suicide, many others, including Rajput's family, accused that it was a murder. Consequently, they requested a probe from the CBI.

One case was filed in August 2021 in Patna by Sushant Singh Rajput's father against Rhea, her kin and others. Another case was filed in September by Rhea Chakraborty against Rajput's sister and doctor, stated reports.

The CBI FIR in Rajput's case named Rhea Chakraborty and her kin Indrajit Chakraborty, Sandhya and Showik apart from her associates Samuel Miranda and Shruti Modi.

The closure report for both cases was filed in a special Mumbai court, reported PTI.

“I salute her and her family for having kept silent and yet suffered the inhuman treatment they were meted out,” added Rhea Chakraborty's lawyer.
