CBI Closes Sushant Singh Rajput Case, Clears Rhea Chakraborty
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has concluded its probe into actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, ruling it a suicide and exonerating his former girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, of all charges. However, the late actor’s family has vehemently opposed the findings, calling the investigation inadequate and vowing to challenge the report legally.
CBI Report: No Foul Play Found
The CBI, which took over the case in 2020, stated there was no evidence of foul play, abetment to suicide, financial fraud, or poisoning—claims central to the Rajput family’s allegations. The agency also cleared Chakraborty and her family of criminal wrongdoing.
Sushant’s family lawyer, Vikas Singh, criticized the report: “If the CBI really wanted to investigate, they would’ve examined financial transactions and witness statements more thoroughly. This closure seems rushed.”
Rajput Family’s Allegations Revisited
In 2020, Sushant’s father, K.K. Singh, accused Rhea Chakraborty of abetting suicide, financial exploitation, and wrongful confinement. The case led to parallel probes by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). While the NCB arrested Rhea in a drug-related case (she later got bail), no agency found concrete evidence of wrongdoing.
Legal Battle Looms
The family is preparing a protest petition to demand a fresh investigation, alleging overlooked evidence and witness lapses. A source close to them claimed, “Key testimonies and digital proofs were ignored—pressure to close the case seems likely.”
Public and Political Divide
The case had triggered massive outcry, with fans and politicians demanding justice. While Rhea’s supporters see the CBI report as vindication, Sushant’s family and backers insist questions remain unanswered.
Next Steps
A Mumbai court will review the CBI’s report and decide whether to accept it or order further investigation. Rhea’s legal team has hailed the findings as a “truth prevails” moment, while the Rajputs brace for a prolonged fight.
