Sushant Singh Rajput’s family’s lawyer, Vikas Singh, on Friday said that investigation of the deceased actor’s death case has been derailed. He said that the case has become like the Mumbai Police investigation and Narcotics Control Bureau(NCB) is conducting a “fashion parade” of Bollywood stars to divert media attention.
“The family feels that the investigation is going in such a way that the truth is not coming out. The NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) case has become like the Mumbai Police investigation, all stars are now being called. The people called in and not are a part of a syndicate and not distributors. It is just a Mumbai Police type of investigation. Sushant’s case has taken a back seat,” the lawyer said in a Thursday press conference, according to ANI.
“Why is CBI converting this to murder from abetment? The investigation is not on track. I will not say I am not happy with CBI, but it’s the lack of importance that the case is getting is what I am worried about. The forensics response of the AIIMS should be made public that is what will satisfy the family,” he said.
“Today, we are helpless as we don’t know in which direction the case is going. Till today, CBI has not done a press briefing on what they have found out. I am not happy with the speed at which the case is going,” he added.
“The family feels that the probe is being taken in a different direction. All attention is being diverted towards the drugs case. AIIMS doctor told me that Sushant’s death was by strangulation,” he added. Vikas Singh had made this claim in a tweet as well
However, Dr Sudhir Gupta, the panel chief of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) forensic team conducting an examination of Sushant’s death, has refused the claims.
Meanwhile, actor Rhea Chakraborty who was arrested in drug case by the NCB has is in judicial custody till October 6. She had filed for bail but her plea was rejected by the court.
