CBI Closes Sushant Singh Rajput Suicide Case

A case that lasted nearly five years has finally met its end. Yes, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed closure reports in the high-profile Sushant Singh Rajput Case. The agency stated that it found no evidence of external pressure, criminal conspiracy, or wrongdoing in the case and hence ruled out foul play. The case is now officially closed and labelled as “death by suicide” by the authorities.

Sushant Singh Rajput Suicide Case

On 14 June 2020, Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his room in Bandra, Mumbai. The actor was 34 years of age at the time of his death and initially, his cause of death was declared as suicide, with the official postmortem report confirming that Rajput died of asphyxia due to hanging. His sudden death came as a shock to his fans who suspected foul play. There were conspiracies of black magic, drugs and other dubious things which led to the case being transferred to the CBI.

Later on, the Mumbai Police launched an investigation into the death after certain FIRs were launched. The first case was initiated by the late actor’s father, K. K. Singh; who accused Rajput’s then-girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty of abetment to suicide and financial misconduct. The second was filed by Chakraborty against Rajput’s sister, alleging medical malpractice.

Now, both Chakraborty and her family have been cleared of any allegations by the CBI. The CBI has stated that it found no conclusive evidence indicating foul play or external pressure leading to Rajput’s death.

Final Findings of the Case

The investigation into the actor’s death included extensive forensic analysis, a detailed inspection of the scene and statements from individuals close to Rajput. This also included a thorough forensic audit, interviews with key individuals in Rajput’s life, and an in-depth analysis of the scene where the actor was found.

The final conclusion aligns with the AIIMS’ forensic report and has now officially ruled out theories of strangulation or poisoning. The actor’s family had initially accused Rhea Chakraborty of mentally tormenting Sushant and exploiting him financially. However, the latest findings have cleared Rhea’s name in the Sushant Singh Rajput case.

With these final reports being submitted, it is now the legal responsibility of the respective courts.
