Sushant Singh Rajput's Family Lawyer Vikas Singh Attacks Rhea Chakraborty, Mumbai Police & Maharashtra Government, tells SC: 'If he was murdered it needs to be investigated

 

Sushant Singh Rajput’s family lawyer, Vikas Singh, keeps arguments in front of the Judge Roy. The advocate says that Mumbai Police is not nabbing the real culprits and no one saw the body hanging. He even said that they did not even wait for his sister who stays just 10 minutes away from his residence. Bollywood late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s father told the Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday’s hearing that he no longer has anyone to ‘light his funeral pyre’. Sushant's father KK Singh was represented by his lawyer Vikas Singh who recited his comment to the bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy.

“I am from Patna and without my son I have no one to light my funeral pyre,” Vikas Singh said, quoting KK Singh. “No one has seen my son hanging. When my daughter reached, Sushant was lying on the bed. This needs investigation,” late actor father added. On the question of filing an FIR against Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty 38 days after the actor’s death, Vikas Singh said, “As soon as mourning is over, he (KK Singh) registered the FIR in Patna.”

“Father and sister of Sushant Singh Rajput were alienated. Father repeatedly wanted to talk to Sushant but Rhea did not reply. She had already distanced the sister. Look at the mark on his neck it’s a belt mark not a rope! If he was murdered it needs to be investigated,” the lawyers told the bench.

Sushant Singh Rajput girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty had filed a petition with the Supreme Court, seeking the transfer of the FIR against her in Patna to Mumbai. Her lawyer Shyam Divan said there appears to be considerable amount of state interference and influence and therefore an apprehension of bias. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Maharashtra government, told the bench that he is opposing the jurisdiction of Bihar in investigating the case. The Supreme Court has reserved the verdict on Rhea Chakraborty vs Sushant Singh Rajput death case. The next hearing of Rhea’s plea will be on Thursday, August 13.

Meanwhile, Centre in its argument has stated that the Maharashtra government affidavit has ‘misleading’ statements. They even stated that Mumbai Police never began an investigation, rather they were doing an ‘inquest’, which is a judicial inquiry to ascertain the facts in relation to the death case. Centre further demands a free and fair probe into the case. It further asserted that the truth in SSR case must come out and the Maharashtra government has given out a foregone conclusion and called it a case of suicide.

Rajput, 34, was found dead at his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14 and since then Mumbai Police has been probing the case keeping in mind various angles.
