After much deliberations and clamours in media for CBI probe over the saddened death of Sushant Singh Rajput, Supreme Court turns down demand for a CBI enquiry in the matter. Sushant Singh Rajput’s death by suicide has led many Bollywood celebrities to request a CBI inquiry.  PIL filed by Alka Priya for the CBI’s intervention in the Supreme Court has been rejected by the apex court.

The Supreme Court has refused to interfere in the investigation and said that the police should be allowed to do their work.

The recent development in this case was of filing of FIR by Sushant Singh Rajput’s father KK Singh against Rhea Chakraborty , alleging that his attempts to contact his son were blocked by Rhea Chakraborty and that she forced Sushant to end his life. The FIR was lodged at the Rajiv Nagar Police Station in Patna, after which a team of Bihar Police reached Mumbai to investigate the matter. However, according to the Mumbai Mirror, Mumbai Police has stated that Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Mitu Singh and his father KK Singh did not say a word against Riya Chakraborty in their signed statements.

Now, according to reports, Rhea Chakraborty was blackmailing Sushant by saying that she would release his medical report to the media and blame him for the death of his former managers.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex-girlfriend actress Ankita Lokhande had allegedly informed the Bihar police that Sushant was quite unhappy as Rhea Chakraborty harassed him. Ankita claimed while visiting Sushant’s family in Patna.

Ankita told the police that through a chat at the time of the release of her Bollywood debut film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi 2019, Sushant mentioned being “harassed” by his then-current girlfriend Rhea. According to Ankita, Sushant had told her that he was “quite unhappy in the relationship and wanted to end it because Rhea harassed him”.

Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging from a ceiling fan at his home in Bandra, Mumbai on 14 June 2020, with the cause suspected as suicide. The official postmortem report concluded that he died of asphyxia due to the hanging.
