Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has created an uproar on social media especially with so many theories being suggested as the cause of his death.

A few days back, Sushant’s friend Siddharth Pithani had said that he is being pressurised by the late actor’s family to give statement against Rhea.

Siddharth is Sushant’s friend and creative content manager. He used to live with the late actor. Speaking to the Times of India, Sushant’s family lawyer Vikas said, “Till probably July 25, Siddharth was talking to the family and trying to help by telling them that Rhea Chakraborty has been instrumental in whatever happened to Sushant. Suddenly, he has done a volte-face. I don’t know what happened, but I hope the police get to the bottom of the matter soon and find out what role he (Pithani) played in this case and whether he has any information that he hasn’t shared.”

Earlier as per a report in Mumbai Mirror, Siddharth in his email to Mumbai Police had claimed that Sushant’s family is pressuring him to speak against Rhea and about the alleged Rs 15 crore transaction. Interestingly, Siddharth’s email is also mentioned in the petition filed by Rhea in the Supreme Court.

Now raising question over how this mail reached Rhea, Vikas said, “It is very surprising. If this was written to only the Mumbai Police, how did it reach Rhea? By now when this mail is coming in public light, Rhea is already mentioned as an accused now in the FIR, so there’s no question of the police sharing it with Rhea. If Pithani had sent it to Rhea, his credibility is in doubt. In that case, it was only set up to file it in Court.”

Sushant’s family lawyer further asked, “This boy (Pithani) was living with Sushant and he was the one who discovered the dead body. So when he found the door locked, he did not open it until Sushant’s sister came. He waited for one-and-half hours.”
