The Supreme Court today dismissed a PIL filed requesting for a CBI probe into actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. The court asked Alka Priya, the lawyer who filed the plea to let the police do their job instead. The lawyer further added that Sushant Singh Rajput had done a lot of work for children by facilitating their training at NASA, and therefore, his death needs to be looked at. To which, Chief Justice S Bodbe said that that has nothing to do with if he was good or bad person. Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on June 14.
There’s been a growing demand for a CBI probe into Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case with several political figures and film personalities weighing in. Amid all this, yesterday, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh also said that there is no need for the case to be transferred to CBI, and that the Mumbai Police is capable of handling the investigation. The Mumbai Police has been investigating the case since June 14. They have recorded statements of over 40 people in connection with Sushant’s death, including that of Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant’s family, filmmakers Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shekhar Kapur, and Yash Raj Films head, Aditya Chopra, among others.
Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend, also recently wrote to Home Minister Amit Shah requesting him to sanction a CBI enquiry into the actor’s death. In a long Instagram post, she had written, “Respected @amitshahofficial sir , I’m sushant Singh Rajputs girlfriend Rhea chakraborty, it is now over a month since his sudden demise . I have complete faith in the government , however in the interest of justice , I request you with folded hands to initiate a CBI enquiry into this matter . I only want to understand what pressures prompted Sushant to take this step. Yours sincerely, Rhea Chakraborty (sic).”
