The CBI has not drawn any conclusion in the death case of filmstar Sushant Singh Rajput and all angles of the incident are being probed, the agency said here on Monday.
“The Central Bureau of Investigation is conducting (a) professional investigation related to death of Shri Sushant Singh Rajput in which all aspects are being looked at and no aspect has been ruled out as of date,” a CBI spokesperson said in statement.
Rajput, 34, who debuted with the much acclaimed ‘Kai Po Che’ movie seven years ago, was found dead in his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14 this year. His family members suspected this to be a case of abetment to suicide or plain murder.
His father KK Singh accused Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty of siphoning off Rs 15 crore from his account.
The CBI had taken over the probe from Bihar Police into the alleged abetment to suicide case filed by the actor’s father in Patna against Rhea Chakraborty and her family members besides others.
The CBI’s reaction came apparently in response to Singh’s lawyer Vikas Singh last week expressing “helplessness” over the slow pace of the CBI probe into Rajput’s death.
On Friday, Vikas Singh alleged that the pace of the CBI probe into Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has suddenly slowed down and all attention is being diverted to drugs-related issues with the NCB conducting a “fashion parade” of Bollywood stars.
“Today, we are helpless as we don’t know which direction the case is going in. Normally, a press briefing is done by the CBI. But in this case, till today, CBI has not done a press briefing on what they have found out. This is a very serious issue,” Singh had alleged at a press conference.
The probe agency had earlier this month also issued a statement calling media reports relating to the probe attributed to it as speculative.
“Certain media reports attributed to CBI investigation are speculative and not based on facts. It is reiterated that as a matter of policy, CBI does not share details of the ongoing investigation,” the agency had said on September 3.
“CBI spokesperson or any team member has not shared any details of the investigation with the media. The details being reported and attributed to CBI are not credible,” it added.
