Rhea Chakraborty’s Lawyer Welcomes Closure Report In Sushant Singh Rajput’s Case

Following Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Shouvik. They were subjected to extensive questioning in connection with the case. The CBI submitted two separate closure reports related to Rajput’s death. One concerning the abetment of a suicide case initiated by his father, KK Singh. And another stemming from Chakraborty’s complaint against Rajput’s sisters. “The amount of false narrative in social media and electronic media was totally uncalled for. Due to the pandemic, everyone was glued to TV and social media in the absence of anything happening in the country. Innocent people were hounded and paraded before the media and investigative authorities,” Mr Maneshinde, Rhea’s lawyer said in the statement to PTI.

“I hope this does not repeat in any case… Rhea Chakraborty [had to] undergo untold miseries and was behind bars for 27 days for no fault of hers until Justice Sarang V Kotwal released her on bail. I salute her and her family for having kept silent and yet suffering the inhuman treatment they were meted,” the senior lawyer said.

With the filing of the closure report, Maneshinde criticized the “false narratives circulating on social media and electronic media. It was in regards to Rajput’s death and Chakraborty’s alleged involvement,” deeming them entirely unfounded. “I must say nothing deterred us from carrying out our legal duties. Today I can share that I’m proud to have defended a fauji family pro bono and that should rest with the kind of speculative narration about my fees. I also thank a large section of the media for having supported me and Rhea’s cause and her fight for justice,” he said.

What Does The Closure Report State?

The closure report regarding the investigation based on the complaint from Rajput’s father has been submitted to a special court in Patna. The report concerning Chakraborty was filed in a special court in Mumbai. The courts will now determine whether to accept these reports or direct further investigations by the agency. The postmortem examination conducted at Cooper Hospital in Mumbai concluded that Rajput’s death resulted from asphyxia.
