CBI Moves To Close Sushant Singh Rajput Death Investigation, Reveals No Foul Play Found
The CBI has reportedly filed a closure report in the case of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's alleged suicide.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has reportedly filed a closure report in the case of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s alleged suicide. According to officials, the agency has submitted its findings to a special court in Mumbai, which will now review the report and decide whether to accept it or direct further investigation. The case, which has been under investigation for nearly four years, remains a subject of intense public and media scrutiny.
CBI’s Findings and Investigation Details
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Bandra apartment in Mumbai on June 14, 2020. His death was initially reported as a case of suicide, but various conspiracy theories and allegations emerged, prompting multiple agencies, including the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), to get involved in the probe.
The investigation was taken over by the CBI after the Bihar Police registered an abetment of suicide case based on a complaint filed by Rajput’s father, K.K. Singh. The complaint alleged financial fraud and mental harassment by the actor’s then-girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, and her family. However, in its forensic analysis, a medical panel from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) ruled out poisoning or foul play, supporting the initial conclusion of suicide.
During the investigation, the CBI recorded statements from Chakraborty, her brother Showik, and several of Rajput’s close associates. Chakraborty and her brother were also arrested in a separate drug-related case linked to the actor’s death but were later granted bail. While multiple angles were explored, no conclusive evidence of foul play was found, leading to the recent closure report.
