Almost five years after actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging at his Mumbai home, the CBI filed a closure report on its probe into his death, calling it a “simple case of suicide” in March this year. After SSR’s death, his father alleged that Rhea Chakraborty misappropriated his funds and played a major role in his suicide. While she was given a clean chit a few months back, his family has now challenged the closure report, calling it flimsy.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), in its closure report on Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, stated that there is no evidence to suggest that Rhea Chakraborty illegally confined, threatened, or abetted him to commit suicide, nor that she misappropriated his funds or possessions.
