Sushant Singh Rajput passed away in June 2020, and police had reported that he died by suicide. However, his death case was given to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the agency has given Rhea Chakraborty a clean chit in the closure report, stating that there was no evidence suggesting that she 'illegally confined, threatened, or abetted' the suicide. However, the actor's family has opposed the CBI's report.
While talking to Hindustan Times, Varun Singh, the lawyer of Sushant's family said, “This is nothing but an eyewash. If CBI really wanted to come out with the truth, it would have submitted all the supporting case documents, including chats, technical records, statements of witnesses, medical records, etc, in the court along with the final (closure) report, which they have not done. We will file a protest petition against this closure report, which is based on a shoddy investigation.”
