On June 14, 2020, Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in the bedroom of his Mumbai apartment by his friend and flatmate. The Mumbai Police said Rajput died by suicide. The death of the celebrated actor sent shockwaves throughout the country, and the case was deeply investigated, first by the Mumbai Police and later by the CBI. While the matter is still under investigation, here’s everything that has happened so far.
Early investigations by the Mumbai Police concluded that he had died by suicide. A preliminary post-mortem at Cooper Hospital confirmed the cause of death as asphyxia due to hanging.
In the initial round of the investigation, many of Sushant Singh Rajput’s friends and colleagues were questioned by the police. These included Aditya Chopra, Mukesh Chhabra, Rhea Chakraborty, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Rajeev Masand, Mahesh Bhatt among many others.
The police recorded the statements of the actor’s father and two sisters before they flew to Delhi. Mumbai Police said, "The family informed us that they do not know why Sushant was depressed and also did not mention if they had any suspicions about anyone."
