Amid all the controversy swirling around the June 14 death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, his family’s lawyer Vikas Singh said on Monday that there are very, very high chances that it was a murder.
Singh, a former Additional Solicitor General, said that after the death of the 34-year-old actor, his flatmate Sidharth Pithani remained in constant touch with the bereaved family till the time an FIR was filed. “But after a case was registered (in Patna), he started helping Sushant’s ex-girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty,” the lawyer said.
“Till the time we filed the FIR, Pithani was in contact with the family and gave an impression that it was a suicide and that Sushant was under depression. The bereaved family was believing the same. But once the FIR was registered (by Sushant’s father KK Singh), he was helping Rhea by sharing that email. It was at that point that the family felt it could be a murder. Now, from what he has done and questions that have appeared, the chances are very, very high that it could be a murder,” Singh told IANS.
