Sushant Rajput death: Court seeks actor Rhea Chakraborty’s response to CBI closure report

Mumbai, July 29: A Mumbai court has issued a notice to Bollywood actor Rhea Chakraborty, seeking her response to the closure report filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the filmstar Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case.

The central agency had in March filed its closure report in the five-year-old case before a magistrate court’s in suburban Bandra. The matter was later transferred to Esplanade court in south Mumbai, which hears CBI cases.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate R D Chavan, presiding over the matter at the Esplanade court, earlier this month issued a notice to the original informant/victim/aggrieved person in the case (Chakraborty).

Chakraborty had filed a complaint against Rajput’s sisters and a doctor alleging they were responsible for his death.

The matter will be next heard on August 12.

The CBI, after probing the case, submitted a closure report.

The court, after hearing parties concerned, has to decide whether to accept the report or order further probe by the agency.

During its investigation, the CBI had recorded statements of Chakraborty, who was said to be in a relationship with Rajput, and others in his inner circle, and collected the movie star’s medical records.

Rajput (34), who hailed from Bihar, was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in Bandra on June 14, 2020.

The central agency had also taken over the probe from the Bihar Police which had registered an abetment of suicide case against Chakraborty on a complaint filed in Patna by Rajput’s father K K Singh.

In his complaint, Rajput’s father had alleged Chakraborty, along with her family members, misappropriated his son’s money, a charge denied by her in television interviews. (PTI)
