actor Sushant Singh Rajputs death case to rule out murder the legal team of Sushants family has written to CBI Director Rishi Kumar Shukla to claim that the medicolegal report by the AIIMS medical board was faulty In the letter the legal team represented by Varun Singh said I have been reading in the media about the forensic report submitted by the AIIMS to the CBI with regard to the opinion expressed by the agency in the matter of Sushant Singh Rajputs death on June 14 I have also seen some doctors on the AIIMS team come on TV and make statements with regard to the forensic examination done by the team The letter said that despite several efforts to get a copy of the report there was no response from AIIMS board head Dr Sudhir Gupta I am accordingly writing this letter on the premise that the news report regarding the All India Institute of Medical Sciences AIIMS opinion is correct The leaked report if correct amounts to drawing a biased and boastful conclusion from insufficient evidence the legal team said Raising questions the letter said that AIIMS was not to do a postmortem but only to express its opinion on an autopsy report submitted by Mumbais Cooper Hospital as the AIIMS did not get to examine Sushants body and thus form a firsthand opinion about the cause of death Dr Sudhir Gupta has been giving media interviews about the sensitive case right from Day One questioning Cooper Hospital doctors for the dubious autopsy and Maharashtra Police for a hurried postmortem and contamination and nonpreservation of the scene of crime the letter added The letter also pointed to various other infirmities like the postmortem done at the Mumbai hospital in the night without any Magistrates order for such an exercise no videotaping of autopsy and nonpreservation of sufficient viscera for future examination In the letter the legal team said that Cooper Hospital doctors postmortem report did not mention injuries on the body and thus no opinion on the cause of such injuries The protocol necessary to be observed in such postmortems was not followed as opined by several forensic experts from all over the world the legal team observed There were several other infirmities that could be pointed out by a genuine forensic examination but somehow the same were left out by the AIIMS team as expressed by one of the doctors in his interview telecast by a TV channel the letter read The legal team also raised questions on the conduct of Dr Sudhir Gupta The conduct of Dr Gupta is unethical unprofessional and in contravention of government service conduct rules and MCI guidelines This criminal misadventure on his part has undermined the public trust in a premier institution like AIIMS It has created doubts in the minds of millions of people about the fairness of investigation it further added The legal team asserted that the AIIMS report if at all could have only specified the cause of death that is by hanging and could not have gone on to say that it was a case of suicide because that is something which only the CBI can decide after complete investigation The CBI may also inquire into the circumstances that led Dr Gupta to indulge in such unprofessional conduct that threatens to jeopardise the course of investigation and help wrongdoers escape the clutches of law It is requested only such medical report that is true appraisal of available evidence is relied upon and not the present one that patently seems to be a fictional concoction to help the culprits said the legal team The AIIMS panel report questioned the absence of timing of death in the Cooper Hospitals autopsy report and pointed towards dimlylit postmortem room at the Mumbai hospital sources said adding that poisoning angle too was ruled out Sushants autopsy was done by three Cooper Hospital doctors on June 14 night The CBI officials have remained tightlipped on the AIIMS report Dr Gupta meanwhile in a statement said that the AIIMS Medical Board has expressed very clearly and conclusively its final medicolegal opinion in this case He said that the contents of the opinion shared with the CBI cannot be shared with anyone as the matter is sub judice A team of AIIMS Forensic Department was roped in by the CBI to give its medicolegal opinion into the death of Sushant IANS

linked to late actor Sushant Singh Rajputs death in Mumbai Wednesday Oct 7 2020 PTI By QUAID NAJMI Mumbai Oct 7 The Bombay High Court has granted conditional bail to Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty and two others but rejected the bail plea of her brother Showik her lawyer Satish Maneshinde said here on Wednesday Justice SV Kotwal who had completed the hearing on the bail applications on September 29 and reserved his ruling pronounced the muchanticipated order this morning The Court granted bail of Rs one Lakh to Rhea and for Rs 50000 each to Dipesh Sawant and Samuel Miranda However Justice Kotwal rejected the bail pleas by Showik Chakraborty and Abdul Basit Parihar The five accused had sought bail from the high court after the Special NDPS Court here rejected their applications

coaccused Rajendra Rathod Tariq Sayed and Subhodh Desai had strongly argued in the case of bail for their clients Among other things they contended that the NCB lacked jurisdiction to probe the matter in view of the Supreme Court order of August 19 directing to hand over all investigations in the Sushant case to the CBI the offences under which the accused were nabbed by the NCB were bailable and the charges under the NDPS Act Section 217A against the accused did not have supporting evidence Countering the defence lawyers arguments Singh maintained that the NCB had jurisdiction in the probe and had sufficient evidence to prove that the accused were part of a larger narcotics syndicate Welcoming the court order this morning Maneshinde said Truth and justice have prevailed and ultimately the submissions on facts and law have been accepted by Justice Kotwal The arrest and custody of Rhea was totally unwarranted and beyond the reach of law The hounding and witch hunt by three Central agencies the CBI ED and NCB of Rhea should come to an end We remain committed to Truth Satyameva Jayate said Maneshinde Among the conditions listed for Rheas bail were depositing her passport with the NCB reporting to the local police station daily for 10 days not leaving Mumbai without informing the NCB etc Similarly Sawant and Miranda have also been asked to submit their passports as per the conditions In an unprecedented swoop to uproot the Bollywood drug citadel the NCB had made the sensational arrest of Rhea Showik drug peddlers and narcotics suppliers and persons linked with the film

by a committee of privileges and there needs to be a charge by the committee Salve replied that the Secretary has sent it and it says that the journalist was critical of the Chief Minister The 60page notice against Goswami was sent after motions were moved against him by the Shiv Sena in both the Houses of the Maharashtra Assembly The Chief Justice told Salve the Speaker may have directed the secretary to do that and asked him Where is the committee of privileges looking into this matter Salve submitted that he has placed the debates of the House on record and asked the court that his

concerns have been expressed over the safety of WhatsApp chats on social media Some have questioned whether Facebook is making a genuine claim that WhatsApps privacy is guaranteed by endtoend encryption citing that probe agencies are now using WhatsApp chats as evidence WhatsApp released a late night statement on Thursday to clarify its stand on the matter In the statement WhatsApp spokesperson said WhatsApp protects your messages with endtoend encryption so that only you and the person youre communicating with can read what is sent and nobody in between can access it not even WhatsApp Its important to remember that people sign up on WhatsApp using only a phone number and WhatsApp doesnt have access to your message content WhatsApp follows guidance provided by operating system manufacturers for ondevice storage and we encourage people to take advantage of all the security features provided by operating systems such as strong passwords or biometric IDs to prevent third parties from accessing content stored on device The NCBs investigation in the drugs case linked to Sushant Singh Rajputs death case has caught up with several Bollywood A listers after their WhatsApp chats over banned drugs surfaced Some WhatsApp chats have surfaced in the media reportedly between Rhea and others and the probe agency is now focused on a group chat from 2017 allegedly

Rajputs talent manager Jaya who is part of the Kwan Talent Management Agency was also on this WhatsApp group with Deepika and Karishma So how are WhatsApp chats which were considered private coming out now WhatsApp says on its security settings that there is endtoend encryption for all their messages but the media and message backup on Google Drive or any such Cloud services arent protected by WhatsApps endtoend encryption Endtoend encryption means that the messages are visible only to the sender and the recipient and not even to WhatsApp To access encrypted WhatsApp data security and investigating agencies can take a users phone and create a clone of it on another device This gives them access even to deleted messages with a mirror image of a phone after which all data can be transferred to the separate device Thereafter it is only a matter of retrieving data which agencies do by involving forensic experts They retrieve all kinds of data like phone call records messages images WhatsApp chats as well as the data on the phones Cloud service like Google Drive or iCloud including anything that has been deleted The NCB has said that Jaya was questioned about her chats with several other celebrities The NCB is now probing whether Jaya procured narcotics and banned drugs for these celebrities Jayas name emerged after a chat about drugs between her and Rhea who is in jail in connection with the drugs case was accessed by the Enforcement Directorate in the PMLA case mentioned earlier The defence can say that the phone was not used by them during the chat Or as Rhea said that it was Sushant who asked her to send those messages from her phone Analysis of WhatsApp chats of Rhea with other entities reflected the angle of conspiracy the NCB said Actors Deepika

probe on Wednesday The NCB had summoned Prakash and Chitgopekar for the first time on Monday for questioning in the case The name of Prakash came to the fore after the agency accessed alleged WhatsApp chats between her and Deepika discussing drugs According to the NCB sources Sahas name cropped up in chats related to Sushants case where she reportedly recommended Rhea Chakraborty to give CBD oil to the late actor The development comes a day after the NCB officials said that they will be issuing summons to Bollywood actors Sara Ali Khan Shraddha Kapoor Rakul Preet Singh and fashion designer

entrepreneur Arian Romal has created a tribute song dedicated to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput The song highlights the ongoing social media movement seeking truth about his death Romal feels the recent focus on the alleged Bollywood drug links is taking away attention from the death probe The song titled We Roar is meant to contribute to the JusticeForSSR movement defined by the line Take rest now we will keep this fight go on However while planning to collaborate with Mumbaibased musicians for the song Romal who is currently in the city did not have a pleasant experience I know plenty of musicians from India and many of them on a personal level They come and meet me at my place and studio just to chill I called a few of them and told them about my idea of a tribute song for Sushant and offered them to collaborate with me While some said they are busy others rejected saying they didnt want to get into this thing with Sushant Arian Romal told IANS This irritated me a lot because when the news of Sushants death came out three months ago everyone was rushing to make a tribute song about him But when the case started changing from suicide to something else and it has become so much bigger now suddenly all of them are hiding he added I dont want to mention names because it is not a good thing but at least eight to nine of the people I called for the song always complain to me saying how bad the industry is and how much they are being used Now when they can actually do something they are just running away We are all artistes Sushant was also an artiste Honestly I expected some of them to collaborate with me Only then can we send across the message that if something happens to any of us we will stand united in support for the person Romal added with a tone of disappointment in his voice The investigation of Sushants death has taken a turn towards a probe into Bollywoods alleged drug links The purpose of the song We Roar is a reminder that the late actors fans need to roar out loud to ensure the truth behind his death is unearthed revealed the singercomposer This drug angle and everything is coming out but I think people are slowly forgetting what JusticeforSSR stands for It is not about tracking down the entire drug industry within Bollywood but about finding out how Sushant died what had happened to him We need to bring back the movement to find the truth about Sushant Honestly I dont care if Karan Johar is doing drugs or whatever they are showing on TV because that is a different case I am concerned about Sushants case right now We need to bring that back to peoples mind Romal said Composed by Arian Romal We Roar has been penned by him along with Tia Bajpai who has also lent her voice to the number Talking about the song Romal shared I am a musician and the best way I can pay tribute to Sushant is by making a song Tia is the only musician who agreed to collaborate with me immediately when I offered her the song In the video we have captured different emotions of Sushant his happiness anger fun everything Thats why we have used his footages in the video He also informed that the entire song was created within just oneandahalf days We Roar was released on September 19 and has garnered over 130000 views and 3400 likes in just two days IANS

how his dear friend late actor Sushant Singh Rajput not only stopped him from committing suicide but also made sure his career as a dance teacher flourished in the city He says Sushant gave him emotional moral and financial support despite being a struggling actor and dancer at the time This was in 2007 It was Sushants idea to make a brochure for my dance class I did not have much knowledge about these things at that time I would normally run my class with just five or six students Sushant was associated with Shiamak Davar and he told this was not the way He told me I needed to advertise to get more students He got Shiamaks brochure and calendar and showed it to me saying this is how branding needs to be done Ganesh told IANS Sushant not only gave me the idea for the brochure but created it too I still remember he sat on a computer all night looking for a suitable name for my dance class brochure design and all that The text was also planned by him what to mention for kids what to write to attract adult students He also posed for the photographs that were printed in the brochure Ganesh added The choreographer went on to inform how the cost for his dance class brochure was also borne by his friend Sushant who himself was a struggling actor and dancer at that time The cost for the brochure was also borne by him I come from a middle class family and could not afford to spend the amount at that time It had cost him around Rs 1520000 I guess at that time My fees at that time were 1000 rupees per student one of them being Sushant I had to survive on Rs 5000 in Mumbai so I couldnt dream of spending on stuff like brochures He was struggling at that time but did not think twice before spending the amount on my brochure Not only did he save me from committing suicide but he also made sure I focus on my career as a dance teacher That was Sushant Ganesh recalled He recalled Sushant would take me on his Splendour bike around the city to meet people That is how he helped me get a job as a dance teacher in Anupam Khers acting academy where I taught for some time Quizzed if he is satisfied with investigation in Sushant death case Ganesh expressed These are very high level things not that I understand a lot of it Over the last two days media is running after Kangana Ranaut Does that mean that medias focus has shifted from Sushant Not that Sushants news is also being shown And Kangana has been supporting the case by talking about drugs and all that I know that people are getting impatient and they want the agencies to come out with a solution quickly but I understand that it cannot be done in haste It is not a small matter That is why they are taking time But I strongly believe the truth will come out he said IANS

central role in Nyaay The Justice a film reportedly inspired by the life of Sushant Singh Rajput says the script of the film might change a bit after the arrest of Rhea Chakraborty girlfriend of the late star Also while there were no plans to show a drug angle in the story before there is a possibility to have one now We are doing workshops and reading the script The script might change a bit after Rheas arrest Initially they were not planning to show the drug angle but now they are thinking to put in a little maybe three or four per cent We plan to start the shoot from September 16 Zuber told IANS We are shooting out of Mumbai though some parts will be shot in Mumbai as well They are planning to release the film this year so we have to rush the shoot he added about the film being coproduced by Sarla A Saraogi whose husband Ashok M Saraogi incidentally represents Sushants exmanager Shruti Modi in the ongoing investigations While by a twist of fate Zuber is now set to star in a film reportedly inspired by Sushants life he was in touch with the late actor from 2011 to 2015 He says although Sushant used to smoke and drink he was not into drugs at the time He recalls Sushant as an introvert who would open up only to people he knew well Zubers connection with Sushant happened because they used to visit the same gym When I arrived in Mumbai in 2011 he was already a regular at the Fitness First gym I was new and I didnt know anyone and I saw this guy who was working so hard and was into fitness He used to do kicks and martial arts with his trainer said Zuber recalling his first impression of Sushant I was inspired by him so I asked everyone who the guy was They told me he was an actor from the serial Pavitra Rishta with Balaji Telefilms We used to share the green room where we used to take showers after a workout Initially I spoke to him once or twice and he was like Yeah I do this and I did that Gradually he started giving me tips about martial arts dance and everything he added Zuber continued He was a regular at the gym till 2015 and that was the last time I interacted with him As a person he didnt speak much in the gym He used to speak only to those he knew Whenever I used to talk to him he used to reply on the lines he wanted On June 14 Sushant was found dead in his home in Mumbai Initially Mumbai Police had concluded it was a case of suicide and investigated reasons that might have caused Sushant to end his life Many conflicting theories have emerged since then adding to the mystery Sushants girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her family were accused by the late actors father KK Singh of abetting his sons suicide among other charges Now there is a drug angle to it and Rhea along with her brother Showik has been arrested on drugrelated charges by the Narcotics Control Bureau NCB as part of the probe Asked if he ever sensed that Sushant is getting into drugs Zuber said No nothing He used to smoke He was a chain smoker but that is a personal choice But he never used to smoke up or do drugs Till the time I knew him which is 2015 he was not into anything like that He was into workout He was into films after Kai Po Che released After 2016 things might have changed He changed his gym because he got into some fight regarding workout and all That was the time our connection broke Zuber recalled So I dont know what happened in his life after that Till 2015 there was nothing like that He used to smoke did parties had alcohol which is common but never drugs or weed Zuber added He asserted Sushants level of fitness also proved it If a guy was on drugs he would not have the amount of fitness that the guy did I saw his energy and I have done kicks with him He used to play with his body weight and that is a big task What happened after 2016 I dont know but till the time I knew him he was not into drugs said the actor Sugandha Rawal can be contacted at sugandhariansin IANS

the problem between the filmmaker and the actor reads I never shared ur feedback and he never asked me what happened Anurags response read Yeah I walked away from Ranveer Singh because Mukesh told me Sushant wanted to do my film Then Sushant ghosted me And I shelved the film To this the manager replies that Sushant had tremendous respect for him and Gattu referring to director Abhishek Kapoor We were always honest Thats why I was upset And I know Mukesh had something to do with it So l just stayed away from the two I just feel maybe I should have talked to him once instead of holding on to that grudge Just feel so sht Anurag replied Following which the manager said This lockdown and helplessness to start working again did make matters worse I also think Dont be hard on yourself I swear he held you right up there for your honestly sic and ur own term of leading ur own life Maybe he rest in peace Anurag also asked about the actors family and on being informed that he has sisters he asked whether they are younger or older and married It must be so hard on them he wrote Anurag goes on to explain Bollywoods support for Rhea Chakraborty following her arrest Everybody baying for Rheas blood asking questions like how did you know she didnt do this or that to him How do you what was he going through Are forgetting that the whole industry has actually known and seen and interacted with SSR over last 910 years Yes we know better he wrote And that is also the reason the whole industry has been quiet so far out of respect for him And now it is that very knowledge of SSR

https://dailyworld.in/sushant/wrong-to-say-sushant-was-treated-for-depression-going-by-meds-docs-63697.html By Anand Singh and Quaid Najmi MumbaiNew Delhi Sep 7 Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput had been taking medicines for panic disorder and seizures since October 2019 though several senior doctors maintain that it will be wrong to say that these medicines were being prescribed for depression without knowing the case history of the patient and the probable disorders the late actor was facing The experts view came amid Rhea Chakraborty filing a complaint with the Mumbai Police against her late boyfriend Sushants sister Priyanka Singh and Dr Tarun Kumar of Ram Manohar Lohia hospital in Delhi and others for offences of forgery NDPS Act and Tele Medicine Practice Guidelines 2020 for having sent a bogus medical prescription depicting Sushant as an OPD person when he was in Mumbai on June 8 The remarks also follow several claims being made that Sushant was being treated for depression According to sources Sushant who was found dead on June 14 this year was taking medicines like Lonazep 025 mg and 05 mg Daxid 50 mg Sources said that Sushant bought these medicines on October 31 last year on the prescriptions given by a senior Mumbai doctor Similarly on January 10 this year Sushant had bought medicines like Flunil 20 mg capsule Ativan 1 mg tablet Qutipin tablet Melatonin 3 mg softgel Modalert 100 tablet Etilaam 05 tablet The second lot of medicines were bought on the purported recommendations of another senior doctor who treated the late actor According to senior doctors Lonazep 025 mg Tablet MD is a prescription medicine used to treat epilepsy seizures panic and anxiety disorder while Daxid is used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder and panic disorder Doctors say that Flunil is an antidepressant which is used in the treatment of disorders like depression and obsessive compulsive disorder The doctors also maintained that Ativan 1 mg tablet is used for anxiety disorders while Qutipin 50 Tablet is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of schizophrenia and is a shortterm treatment of jetlag in adults Doctors also explained that Etilaam 05 mg tablet is considered an effective antianxiety medicine Meanwhile two senior doctors contended that if these medicines were being administered to any patient it does not imply that he or she was in depression The usage of the medicines is prescribed by the doctors after viewing the condition of the patient It will be completely unacceptable to say that these medicines were administered for depression a wellknown psychiatrist in Delhi told IANS While treating a patient we need to look at the behaviour and many other aspects Medicines are prescribed to correct the cycle where we view or find any disorder pointed out the doctor requesting anonymity The doctor also pointed out that Lonazep is an antianxiety tablet and it is a commonly used tablet while Daxid is used for depression treatment Quitipin is used for thoughts sleeps and number of other treatments Similarly Melatonin is used to improve the sleep cycle and Modalert is recommended for those who feel sleepy in the morning Etilaam is from the same family of Lonazep the doctor said Another senior doctor also said that looking at the names of the medicines it cannot be concluded that these were being used specifically for depression He said these medicines can also be used for anxiety and sleep disorders It is not so All these medicines are meant for many other conditions It is not a right way to look at it Till the time details of the patient are shared one cannot determine or come to a conclusion that it was being used for treating depression the noted doctor said The CBI Enforcement Directorate and the Narcotics Control Bureau NCB are investigating the cause of the death of Sushant The CBI has questioned several people including Sushants girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty her father Indrajit her brother Showik Sushants exmanager Shruti Modi flatmate Siddharth Pithani Sushants personal staff Neeraj Singh Keshav Bachne Dipesh Sawant and many others The ED has also recorded the

he shared a close bond with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput drew flak when the family of the late actor said they did not know him and it emerged that Ssingh did not even meet or call Sushant in almost a year before his death on June 14 Ssingh has now released WhatsApp chats with Sushant and his family claiming he did this to clear his stand When IANS caught up with Ssingh he had his explanation ready on why he was not in touch with Sushant He was a star He was doing Chhichhore and Dil Bechara From January 2019 onwards I started casting for PM Narendra Modi Is that a joke Was I making a comedy film It was a big responsibility What happened during the films release everybody knows I went through trauma So I was busy with my work and he was busy with his but that doesnt mean we didnt care about each other We would have connected once we were free claimed Ssingh He also said that he made the chats public because his silence made him fall prey to media trial and widespread criticism My family is asking me to leave Mumbai my society people are asking me to leave the society because since the last 20 days the media is crowding in front of my building and banging on my car whenever I go out People are chasing me at the airport Why he ranted Which brings up the rumour that he is allegedly planning to run away to the UK I think that is a very small allegation There are bigger allegations against me from a BJP leader and a Congress leader about molestation about me being a murderer about me being a planner a drug peddler all these rumours Every day there has been a new allegation against me which has brought me into depression It has broken my confidence and affected my family he said With questions being raised on Sandip Ssinghs purpose of being present at Sushants house on the day of his death and making a call to the ambulance driver two days after Sushants demise on June 16 Sssingh declares that if such attitude continues we will soon lose faith in humanity Why Because I did a mistake of going to my friends house when I heard the news And stood by his family when they were in Patna Chandigarh and the US and Sushants sister Meetu didi was alone at home My mistake was not to think like others who did not come to his house hospital or funeral Is it a crime to support his family In lockdown in corona I went all out I am a Bihari and when we see even a strangers body being carried we offer a shoulder and Sushant he was my friend Ssingh asserted He added I also went to Irrfans funeral I also went to Sridevi Yash Chopra Jagjit Singh and Shammi Kapoors funerals I have been in the industry for the last 20 years and have made friends Should I not respect such relationships If Ssingh has now made his WhatsApp texts with the late actor and his family public why was he silent till now I was ashamed of releasing on social media my chats with Sushant and Meetu didi It is the worst thing one could do but I had no option I have been silent for so many days listening to abuses Who gave people the right to abuse my mother and sister That is why I got angry and decided to come out and speak Ssingh said adding People have written I have connections with Dawood If thats true then where is the money Why am I asking other people to fund my films Ssingh believes a person like Sushant can never commit suicide because he was jolly happy and intelligent However he is noncommittal when we asked if he suspects foul play in the actors death Thats what the government is after Thats what the CBI is trying to find out We should wait instead of arriving at judgements That is exactly what people are doing to me he said He added My family thinks my career is over I pray nobody goes through what my family and I went through these last months I am not able to eat sleep work or even step outside my house The actual lockdown has started for me only now For days now the media is standing right outside my house and I dont know how to handle

Maharashtras political parties and Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut for her recent statements that are viewed as denigrating the state in general and the Mumbai Police in particular Top leaders from the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance of Shiv Sena Nationalist Congress Party Congress and opposition Maharashtra Navnirman Sena slammed Kangana for her remarks while protests erupted in Mumbai and other cities against the actress As a huge row snowballed in which Kangana dragged the Palghar Sadhu lynching incident labelled Mumbai as addicted to blood dared the Maratha Pride of Maharashtra alleged the existence of an Islamdominated Bollywood besides POK an embarassed Bharatiya Janata Party and some of its leaders who openly supported Kangana till Thursday abruptly dumped her like a hot potato Amid protests by Shiv Sena activists burning Kanganas effigy in the city and suburbs Thane Palghar Pune Aurangabad Nashik and other cities strong reactions from various quarters the normally calm state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh NCP was ruffled enough to strongly condemn Ranauts statements albeit without taking her name I strongly condemn allegations levelled by an actress on Maharashtra and Mumbai Police forces Our police forces are brave and capable in executing their duties and maintaining law and order across the state Whoever doesnt feel safe here has no right to live here a grim Deshmukh said Senior minister Anil Parab termed Kanganas outbursts as a conspiracy intended to shift Bollywood out of Mumbai and said such attempts will not be tolerated On the other hand advisor to CM Kishore Tiwari has alleged that Kangana is attempting to carve a political niche in the BJP by creating herself as an alternative to the partys leaders like Smriti Irani and Hema Malini In a sharp critique Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant accused Kangana of acting as the mouthpiece of the BJPs IT Cell by which they have insulted the 13 crore people of Maharashtra the 106 martyrs who sacrificed themselves for the state and Queen of Jhansi Rani Laxmibai Devendra Fadnavis Leader of Opposition and MLA Ram Kadam are her mentors If Kangana has information about drug peddlers why doesnt she inform the central agencies Why Sandip Singh made 53 calls to the BJP leaders must be probed Sawant thundered MNS Chitrapat Sena President Amey Khopkar slammed the actress and said we are eagerly waiting to welcome her referring to Kanganas challenge that she would reach Mumbai on Sep 9 If people who have nothing to do with the city except malign it and its police force then the Home Minister should take action or else the morale of the police force will be shaken This entire episode will backfire on the BJP said Senas Sanjay Raut Karni Sena spokesperson Ajaisinh Seng warned that if Kangana doesnt stop her irresponsible diatribe against Mumbai and Maharashtra it would go and attack her film sets whenever she shoots Caught unaware by the storm building against the 33yearold actress from Himachal Pradesh the BJP suddenly backtracked and washed its hands of the Kangana controversy Kangana should not try to teach Mumbai Mumbaikars and Maharashtra Sanjay Raut should not attack us through Kangana Ranaut The BJP has nothing to do with Kangana Dont link us to her statements BJP leader Ashish Shelar virtually implored Besides political leaders such as state Congress President and Minister Balasaheb Thorat Mumbai Congress chief Eknath Gaikwad Sena MPs Sanjay Raut Arvind Sawant and Priyanka Chaturvedi several Bollywood and Marathi film personalities such as Urmila

never came to the farmhouse after January 2019 Sara Ali started visiting the farmhouse together with Sushant sir from 2018 They would stay at the farmhouse for three to four days whenever they came After returning from their Thailand trip in December 2018 Sushant sir and Sara maam came directly to the farmhouse from the airport They came at around 10 or 11 in the night They were accompanied by a friend Raees told IANS Sara maam was very well mannered She didnt behave like an actress She was so simple She would address the farmhouses domestic help as maushi aunty just as Sushant sir did and

Sushant was planning to propose to Sara around his birthday on January 21 2019 However Raees says he is not sure if it was a wedding proposal or not I remember Abbas bhai Sushants friend told me to pack my bags for a trip to Daman on Sushant sirs birthday in January 2019 It would always be my responsibility to take care of a car stuffed with his things like telescope music system guitar etc Wherever Sushant sir used to go he would carry these things We would usually carry these things in a mini tempo Most probably a programme of the Prime Minister was scheduled to take place around February in Daman So all the hotels were full and we did not get rooms So our Daman trip did not happen Raees recalled Sushant sir was planning to propose to Sara maam during the Daman trip He also wanted to give her a gift and had ordered something for her but the trip didnt happen finally After that a trip to Kerala was being planned but that too got cancelled Later around February or March 2019 I heard that the two had broken up Sara maam never came to the farmhouse after January 2019 recalled Raees Asked if Sushant was planning to propose marriage to Sara Raees clarified I am not sure if it was a wedding proposal or not because I had only overheard twoof Sushant sirs friends discussing that he was planning to give her a gift and propose to her I dont know what the proposal was about Raees revealed that Sushant was planning to stay in his farmhouse for two to three months starting March this year but it never happened Sushant sir had plans to come to the farmhouse in March before the lockdown began He was planning to spend two to three months at the farmhouse and do some organic farming I was sent a list of things necessary for his stay at the farmhouse and for farming by Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant However the plan got cancelled Groceries were also sent to the farmhouse from Mumbai I dont remember the exact date It was probably March 15 or 17 Sushant sir was expected to leave from Mumbai around 6 in the morning But it suddenly got cancelled and he didnt come informed Raees With a heavy heart the caretaker recalled that he has never ever had a boss like Sushant who would play cricket with him and other staff at the farmhouse would eat whatever they cooked for themselves and treated them like family Raees is deeply disturbed at Sushants untimely demise and prays for his departed soul to rest in peace I was waiting for him How I wish sir would have arrived that day How I wish sir would have been alive today My heart breaks to think that he is

resort in Calangute Goa has revealed names of over a dozen Mumbai based film personalities who were being supplied buds highly placed sources in NCB told IANS Though after his arrest on September 2 Fayaz Ahmed turned out to be a COVID19 positive yet his thorough interrogation by NCB sleuths has unravelled the entire network and nexus of Bollywooddrug mafia Ahmed revealed that drugs were being transported by means of parcels through Foreign Post Office in New Delhi One of the consignments was dispatched by one Dan Patel a resident of Modugno street Saint Laurent Canada Saint Laurent a borough of Montreal city in Canadas Quebec state is infamous for drug cartels and crime syndicates many having Indian connections In his questioning Fayaz Ahmed has reportedly said that parcels containing curated marijuana were collected either from New Delhi or from a shop located in CalanguteAnjuna Road in Goa Once the consignment reached Ahmed the suppliers in Mumbai were contacted For

connection in Sushant Singh Rajput death case so far reveals that besides supplying buds certain cocaine cartels active in Mumbai were also supplying high quality drugs Cocaine priced at Rs 5 crore per kilogram is a highly expensive party drug usually supplied to high end customers in metros In Sushant case the WhatsApp chats suggest that only buds which come quite cheap in comparison to cocaine were being delivered Meanwhile after the arrest of Showik and Samuel on Friday evening the noose is tightening in on some other key suspects who were close to Rhea Chakraborty Showik and Samuels

by the CBI Soon after the actors death it was said that he was suffering from depression Shamin feels that people should avoid talking about his mental health and lifestyle and instead remember him as the successful actor that he was Although I didnt know Sushant personally I have been following Sushants case since day one and have been awaiting a justified closure just like the whole country With so many different theories and speculations around his mysterious death it is heartwrenching to not have any clarity even after two months said the Ram Pyaare Sirf Humare actress Sushant achieved all the success in his life relying on sheer talent and hard work and one should refrain from speculating anything wrong about his lifestyle or mental health condition and remember him just as the success story that he was I dont know if he was depressed but I wish people dont demean depression as a taboo disease and understand that depression doesnt make you a weaker person she added She also mentioned that the late actor was an inspiration for her and said Sushant has been a role model for so many actors like me His career graph personally inspired me to work hard towards my goal He seemed so motivated in his career and at the same time he was so intelligent with so much knowledge about everything not just limited to acting He was not just an actor he was much more than that I have followed his journey from Pavitra Rishta His transition from TV to Bollywood was exemplary He had a flourishing and inspiring career It is disheartening to read so much stuff about him I just wish that the CBI comes out with the truth soon she added Shamin concluded by saying that Sushants family deserves justice Be it a murder or suicide Sushant and his family deserve justice and respect

Rajput in their early days as actors on the small screen Nishant says he has refrained from commenting on Sushant Singh Rajput or his death so far because many people have looked at it as a way of getting publicity I did not like to comment in the beginning because initially people were speaking about his death just for publicity and I dont think thats good It is immoral in my eyes to seek publicity through someones death But now that the initial fever is over only the real genuine people can come out and share their thoughts about Sushant claimed Nishant Nishant played the lead role of Anukalp Gandhi in Preet Se Bandhi Ye Dori Ram Milaayi Jodi around the same time as Sushant was becoming a household name playing Manav Deshmukh in Pavitra Rishta Both the shows were aired on the same channel Sushant and I were a part of Zee TV in 2010 and 2011 My show used to air at 9 pm while his was at 930 pm We did a lot of maha episodes and events together and thus interacted during shoots I knew him during that period Later I quit Zee TV and he also quit television for films so we lost touch But what I remember is that he was a humble hardworking and talented guy He was somebody who would take charge of a scene and deliver it the way the writers wanted Nishant recalled The CBI is currently investigating Sushants case now and Nishant asserts that the guilty should be punished Forget about being an industry colleague I think as a human being I feel that if someone took his life then the culprit needs to come out and should be punished he said Nishant also spoke about actress Kangana Ranaut and her gutsy attitude while taking a stand in Sushants case I think most of the time Kangana says the right thing in a blunt manner because of which many people do not like her But I respect her and I think she is saying all the right things and is also throwing light on the problems in the industry I admire her for that and look up to her said Nishant IANS

is being being vilified by sections of media and social media even though the investigation in the case is still going on I dont know Sushant on a personal note We have had a professional relationship We used to work out in the same gym a few years back and I started knowing him then After that we connected on Instagram and would bump into each other at a few award shows Meera told IANS He was always very cordial He was a perfect gentleman Every time he saw me he would stop he would talk he would ask how I was how are things how is work Usually people dont do that in this industry He was very well mannered and simple a genuine person Also he was always respectful towards others the actress added remembering Sushant Meera also recalled how Sushant had texted her after her film Section 375 released in September last year He had messaged me after my film Section 375 released He had praised my performance and told me that he felt bad for the girl her character in the film even though she was not right Similarly I had texted him after Chhichhore released It was a very actortoactor conversation between us Meera revealed Going down memory lane the actress shared Something I will always maintain is that I have never met anyone in the industry as simple as he was I will say this despite the fact that I did not know Sushant at a personal level and never made an effort to do that His simplicity his mannerisms his demeanour of reaching out to people in spite of the fact that he was such a successful actor people dont usually do that but he always did Even in the gym if somebody was working out in a wrong way despite the trainer being present he would personally go across and correct the person even if he didnt know them That was Sushant such simplicity she recalled Sushant who passed away on June 14 was a role model for many people and his untimely demise has affected even those who didnt know him personally feels Meera His death has affected people in a personal way I have friends in London and America who didnt know him at all but they are deeply affected the actress said adding I am so affected by his demise that I still feel that he is somewhere and is not gone It is so shocking All the controversy theories going on I just hope those are not true because he didnt deserve this kind of death He was a very pure and good soul Meera supports the ongoing social media movement JusticeforSSR by Sushants fans and wants the truth to come out Talking about the movement the actress said I really hope it goes on because if something wrong has happened people should be punished I hope the CBI finds out the truth While Meera is deeply affected by Sushants untimely demise the actress strongly believes that it is wrong to vilify his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty who is being accused and blamed for the death When quizzed about her take on Sushants girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty being called names like Vishkanya and black magician the actress replied Certain people are accused in this case and they should be interrogated with no sympathy be it a boy or a girl At least I dont have any sympathy for them But then I feel calling somebody names is terrible Somebody

activities in Bollywood said Rao who is the first leader to seek a probe by the NIA in the sensational case after the ED CBI and NCB started their investigations Rao told IANS The CBI ED and Narcotics Control Bureau have their limits The drug network has also been revealed in the Sushant Singh Rajput case There is a terrorist network behind the illegal drug trade in India The drug supply business is run from places like Dubai So now the case of Sushant Singh Rajput has blown up Only the National Investigation Agency can investigate the drug and terror network connected to foreign countries So

are now surfacing beyond the borders of the country and the CBI ED and Narcotics Control Bureau NCB cannot investigate these foreign links outside India He said thus the NIA will have to be at the

secretary told IANS We cannot call the Mumbai Police incompetent The Mumbai Police is capable In the past too the Mumbai Police has a good record in investigating cases Sushant Singh Rajput did not

assistant of Sushant Singh Rajput says the actor never consumed drugs till at least the time he worked and stayed with him Sabirs claim comes at a time when the Narcotics Control Bureau NCB has started probe into a possible drug angle into Sushants death case and when the actors family has alleged that he has been drugged I worked with Sushant Sir off and on taking breaks in between My last stint with him was from December 2018 to around January or February 2019 I took leave in February Sabir told IANS I worked as his personal assistant when he was promoting Sonchiriya and shooting for Dil Bechara I used to assist him on photoshoots film promotions and shooting At that time I stayed with Sir in his 16th floor apartment he added If Sir consumed drugs at the time I worked with him I would surely have known I was there with him 24X7 I am hearing so many names of drugs now ML or MD or whatever it is If he was consuming drugs at that time I would have surely known these names I am shocked to hear about these drugs However I am talking about only the time I used to work with him I dont know what happened after I was fired he added Asked why he was fired Sabir replied In 2019 February I took leave from sir and went to my home town I returned to Mumbai around June or July and tried to contact him I could not get in touch with Sir directly However a staff working at his house at that time informed me that someone called Rhea was handling everything at his home now and she was not keen on retaining Sirs old staff After that I did not get in touch with Sir ever I loved Sir so much and was loyal to him Had I known that something wrong was happening to him I would have at least tried to do something to help I can do anything for Sir because he was extremely caring towards his staff and he loved us I never thought I would have to see this day My heart breaks to refer to sir in the past tense Maybe he is not physically present with us today but he will be alive in our hearts forever added Sabir Sabir also rubbished the depression theory I dont understand all this talk about his depression He was so happy He had work in his hand he was never lonely Why would he suffer from depression We went on a trip to Thailand he enjoyed a lot over there There was nothing about his behaviour that hinted at depression at that time He used to chat with us a lot and treat his staff as family members Does a depressed person talk so much questioned Sabir Throwing light on Sushants daily routine at that time Sabir said Sir would wake up around 3 or 4am every day and sit at his telescope staring at the moon Then he would do yoga for some time after which he would listen to devotional songs because he was a bhakt devotee of Shivji After that he would sit down to read or write He used to read a lot Thats how his day began He was a very happy and positive person During the course of the conversation Sabir went down memory lane to recall a happy incident Sir was a very nice human being and it was an amazing experience working with him He was so full of life and jovial I have very nice memories of working with him I still remember playing cricket with him on the hotel terrace while shooting for Dil Bechara in Jamshedpur He loved playing cricket He would bowl at me when I would bat and then when it was his turn to bat I would be the bowler Sabir recalled with

where Rhea shared that Sushant first experienced a depressive episode in 2013 which intensified in 2019 during their Europe trip Acharya who lived with Sushant in his house as his assistant from July 2017 to July 2019 feels Rhea is manipulating the narrative to protect herself He never used to take any sort of drug Kabhi bhi nahi never Acharya told IANS He was very conscious about his health He used to take protein shake I dont understand why Rhea is saying all this She is thinking of protecting herself I was shocked to read all the drug related chats because Sushant Bhaiya never used to do all this he added In WhatsApp chats recently made public Rhea spoke of using MDMA and also discussed marijuana In case we speak about hard drugs I havent been doing too much Tried MDMA once she allegedly messaged a man named Gaurav Arya asking him You have MD A message sent to her by one Jaya Saha on November 25 last year read Use 4 drops in coffee tea or water and let him sip it Give it 3040 minutes for it to kick in It is being presumed that the him refers to Sushant Reacting to this Acharya said I am very shocked and I am thinking why Rhea is saying all this She is twisting the story First she said that he got depressed after he saw some paintings in Europe and now she is saying something else She is just twisting the story again and again On the recent claim about Sushants depression phase in 2013 Acharya said Did you see what all is she saying in todays interview Did she even meet Sushant in 2013 So how can she talk about what happened in 2013 Aisa kuch nahi hua tha Nothing of this sort happened She is lying She is just twisting the story On June 14 Sushant was found dead in his home in Mumbai At that time Mumbai Police had concluded it was a case of suicide and investigated reasons that might have caused Sushant to end his life Many conflicting theories have emerged since then adding to the mystery The case has been now transferred to the CBI Earlier in an

https://dailyworld.in/sushant/quickfix-books-on-sushant-singh-rajput-flood-the-market-59593.html By Ahana Bhattacharya Mumbai Aug 22 To provide fodder to the growing curiosity among the people about the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput a number of books have mushroomed in the market over the past couple of months since his death The 34yearold actor was found dead in his Mumbai residence on June 14 The books released soon after his death are available in hard copy as well as ebook format With Sushant being in the headlines currently people in general are curious to know more about the late actor On cue the books available in the market talk of the kind of the person he was his thoughts goals and ambitions his personal life professional life struggles heartbreaks failures and success and more Most of these books are rush jobs poorly research and with not much groundbreaking information since the case is still to be solved In many cases the author admits to have never met Sushant One such book is titled The Legend Sushant Singh Rajput The Heist Of National Treasure written by Delhibased author Pradeep Sharma whose pen name is Willking This is Sharmas first book published on July 16 The author claims he did not know Sushant personally but felt intrigued enough to write a book on him after the actors death I didnt know SSR personally nor did I ever meet him But when I heard about the news of his death I was not able to accept it and faced severe anxiety and I thought I would write a blog or an article and post it on social media But later it occurred to me that I can write a book on him as a tribute Sharma told IANS This book is all about how I feel after his death as a diehard fan and how he inspires me You will find in the book his achievements passion lust to explore new things his dreams and how he wanted to help others In short this is a tribute to SSR the author claimed Sharma admitted he has faced widespread criticism that he is trying to mint money and get fame overnight Is it a good strategy to release books about the late actor right now even though the case is yet to be solved Sushants untimely death has affected people from all walks of life Right now everybody is shocked So naturally people are curious to know more about him However writing books on him at this point of time I feel is a temporary trend aimed at grabbing the limelight quickly This kind of literature is shortlived and doesnt have a long term impact explains Tridib Chatterjee President of the Publishers and Booksellers Guild Kolkata who has been into the business of book publishing for over 40 years A book written in Hindi by Harsh Vardhan Chouhan is titled Sushant Singh Rajput Mystery That there can be doubt about the credibility of the work is obvious from the spelling and grammatical gaffes in the book description on an online shopping site This book is about mistry of Sushant Singh Rajput and we solve mistry The claims of solving the murder mystery seems a tad tall considering the book was published on July 29 just above a month after Sushant died Khushal Chawla has penned a book titled Sushants Depression Story Possible Reasons Behind Sushants Depression The author describes it as a short book that tells you stories on Sushants depression I write this book because I feel that his depression story needs to be told to the world The book has an important message at the end which I feel will change the way people see Indian cinema However Chawla cannot substantiate how he can be so sure the death was caused by suicide Ishan Martin has gone with the Mumbai Police theory in deciphering the death while writing RIP Sushant Singh Rajput The Life Of Bollywood Actor SSR The description of Martins book mentions The news of Sushant Singh Rajputs sudden demise comes as a shock for the entire film industry and his fans The news comes just a few days after Sushant Singh Rajputs former manager Disha Salian passed away The news has left the actors fans heartbroken Sushant Singh Rajput Bollywood Actor has killed himself in his home His body was found at his Bandra home Mumbai police confirmed it Funnily perhaps because most of these books were in a competition to hit the market first all the works conveniently go with the initial police deduction that Sushant committed suicide Parikshita Garud describes her book Remembering Sushant Singh Rajput saying This book is related to the legend Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput I am going to publish some important point of his life in series This is the first series where I have introduced about Sushant Singh Rajput and depression Nowadays depression and suicide are most sensitive topics Im just trying to motivate people out there with the help of the remembering Sushant Singh Rajput Currently the death of the actor is being investigated by the CBI as per the Supreme Courts order While fans wait with bated breath for answers to the yet unsolved mysteries surrounding his death be sure there will be more books on Sushant coming up Lets hope those works are better researched IANS https://dailyworld.in/sushant/quickfix-books-on-sushant-singh-rajput-flood-the-market-59593.html

Sushant Sushant was found dead in his apartment in Mumbai on June 14 As actors somewhere deep down inside we think we know why he did it and thats why it is so disturbing even if you didnt know him at all Its a hard game to play and he played it very well but the game won in the end he had tweeted after the news of his demise he continued In case you didnt know Bollywood has no shortage of aggressive alphas and peacocks No its not gender specific Successful people often fictionalise their success like saying hard work blessings etc The ones who have failed will bare themselves to you and there is much to lean from that added the actor who has appeared in films like Shaitan Goliyon Ki Raasleela RamLeela Hunterrr A Death In The Gunj and Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota Sushant is best known

the Supreme Court has said cases connected to the death of Sushant Singh Rajput will also go to CBI That means anything connected to it If the CBI finds Disha Salians death is connected or something else is connected or destruction of evidence is connected to the case then that will also be with CBI So the court has gone way beyond what most people were expecting and has done substantial and complete justice he added On June 14 Sushant was found hanging in his residence in Mumbai The postmortem report stated that the actor had committed suicide The late actors father KK Singh filed an FIR in Bihar accusing six people including Sushants girlfriend actress Rhea Chakraborty for abetment to suicide among other charges Bhandari continued It is a huge step towards justice When we started to ask for a CBI probe in July there was not even a criminal case Mumbai police was not doing a criminal investigation There was no FIR CBI investigates crimes This is a crime now with criminal investigation into it he added IANS https://dailyworld.in/sushant/sc-went-way-beyond-what-people-were-expecting-swamy-appointed-lawyer-59366.html Fri, 21 Aug 2020 05:40:00 +0530

Sushant Singh Rajput in Dil Bechara recalls the promise the late actor never kept On an emotional note Sahil said Ill remember him as the guy who broke his promise He had promised me that he would go on a bike ride with me I dont blame him He was a busy man He had a lot of people around him But he made me buy a motorcycle Ill always feel my motorcycle as incomplete without that ride with him Like the rest of Bollywood Sahil welcomes a CBI probe into Sushants death because his very first reaction on hearing about the latters demise was that this couldnt be a suicide Sahil recalled that when the news of Sushant committing suicide on June 14 came out he initially thought it was fake news It came as a shock and for a good half an hour I felt it was fake news Even today if you ask me did he do it I would say no Sahil told IANS I have actually seen a lot of people who are disturbed but Sushant was nowhere near If he was then he was good at hiding it but I dont think anybody on this planet is so good at hiding so much But then again I am not an expert In my opinion I would say no I didnt see anything wrong with the guy said Sahil Now with the Supreme Court ordering a CBI probe on Wednesday he feels very happy It is going to be investigated properly My first reaction was that I dont feel this is a suicide He was not the kind of person who would do something like this So I have always had questions in my heart said Sahil Its not just his family friends and fans but also his coactors who deserve a closure he added Sahil met Sushant thanks to Dil Bechara which turned out to be the latters last film I was aware of his work The first time I met him was at the Mukesh Chhabra casting company office where we did our first reading I felt like he was a mirror image of me Everybody felt that he was a mirror image of them Thats an amazing quality to have as an actor being a person who can make other people feel comfortable he said He didnt mind making a fool of himself to make another person smile At the same time he was not the kind of person who you would be taken for a ride He was a correct balance of dont mess with me you wanna be friends with me I will be friends with you for all my life kind of a person Sahil summed up IANS https://dailyworld.in/sushant/dil-bechara-co-actor-sahil-vaid-recalls-the-promise-sushant-never-kept-59376.html Fri, 21 Aug 2020 07:41:00

https://dailyworld.in/sushant/how-patna-polices-action-in-ssr-case-was-justified-59141.html New Delhi Aug 19 In a massive relief to the family of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput the Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered for a court monitored CBI probe in the case while also saying that the action of the Patna Police was justified A single judge bench of the Supreme Court presided by Justice Hrishikesh Kumar held that since the father of the deceased actor is the legal heir of the properties and assets in question the action of the Patna Police is justified Registration of FIR is mandated when information on cognisable offence is received by the police Precedents suggest that at the stage of investigation it cannot be said that the concerned police station does not have territorial jurisdiction to investigate the case Tthe bench said in its order The allegation relating to criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of money which were to be eventually accounted for in Patna where the Complainant resides could prima facie indicate the lawful jurisdiction of the Patna police It further said that the Patna police committed no illegality in registering the complaint Looking at the nature of the allegations in the complaint which also relate to misappropriation and breach of trust the exercise of jurisdiction by the Bihar Police appears to be in order At the stage of investigation they were not required to transfer the FIR to Mumbai police the Apex Court held The bench also said For the same reason the Bihar government was competent to give consent for entrustment of investigation to the CBI and as such the ongoing investigation by the CBI is held to be lawful Senior advocate Vikas Singh appearing for Sushants father KK Singh had argued that when misappropriation and criminal breach of trust is alleged in respect to the assets of the deceased actor and the concerned property relatable to the alleged offence will have to be accounted eventually to the Complainant as a Class I legal heir of the deceased the action of the Patna Police is contended to be within jurisdiction under Section 179 read with Section 1814 of the CrPC which speaks of consequences ensuing at another place as a result of the alleged crime However the said arguments were opposed by senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi appearing for the Maharashtra government and senior advocate Shyam Diwan who represented Rhea Chakraborty The bench has also held that in the event a new case is registered in Mumbai on the same issue in the fitness of things it would be appropriate if the latter case too gets investigated by the same agency CBI on the strength of this Courts order Such enabling order will make it possible for the CBI to investigate the new case avoiding the rigors of Section 6 of the DSPE Act requiring consent from the State of Maharashtra the court said IANS

unnatural death of Sushant Singh Rajput will be remembered as a case where a single judge bench exercised the powers under Article 142 of the Constitution Justice Hrishikesh Roy cited the Justice LS Panta judgement Under Article 142 of the Constitution this court in exercise of its jurisdiction may pass such decree or make such order as is necessary for doing complete justice in any cause or matter pending before it The expression cause or matter would include any proceeding pending in court and it would cover almost every kind of proceeding in court including civil or criminal The apex court cited that its power under Article 1421 to do complete justice is entirely of different level and of a different quality This Courts power under Article 1421 to do complete justice is entirely of different level and of a different quality What would be the need of complete justice in a cause or matter would depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case and while exercising that power the Court would take into consideration the express provisions of a substantive statute Justice Roy cited the Panta judgement Citing the Panta judgement Justice Roy said The above ratio makes it amply clear that the Supreme Court in a deserving case can invoke Article 142 powers to render justice The peculiar circumstances in this case require that complete justice is done in this matter How this is to be achieved must now be decided Justice Roy noted that Bihar and Maharashtra governments are making acrimonious allegations of political interference against each other and the legitimacy of the investigation has come under a cloud These developments unfortunately have the propensity to delay and misdirect the investigation In such a situation there is reasonable apprehension of truth being a casualty and justice becoming a victim observed Justice Roy Justice Roy said to ensure public confidence in the investigation and to do complete justice in the matter the Court considers it appropriate to invoke the powers conferred by Article 142 of the Constitution Justice Roy turned down the Maharashtra governments arguments that ordinarily the local police should conduct investigation into any reported crime and entrustment of the investigation to the CBI must be an exception to meet extraordinary exigencies and the consent given by Bihar government was for political exigencies As a Court exercising lawful jurisdiction for the assigned roster no impediment is seen for exercise of plenary power in the present matter said Justice Roy invoking Article 142 to transfer

team in Mumbai while investigating the Patna FIR registered by deceased actor Sushant Singh Rajputs father should have been avoided as it gave rise to suspicion on the bonafides of the Mumbai Polices inquiry The apex court has ordered a CBI probe into Sushants mysterious death Justice Hrishikesh Roy said In the instant case the petitioner reposed confidence on Mumbai Police The records of the case produced before this Court does not prima facie suggest any wrongdoing by the Mumbai Police However their obstruction to the Bihar Police team at Mumbai could have been avoided since it gave rise to suspicion on the bonafides of their inquiry The top court noted that the Mumbai Police were conducting only a limited inquiry into the cause of unnatural death under Section 174 CrPC and therefore it cannot be said with certainty at this stage that they will not undertake an investigation on the other aspects of the unnatural death by registering an FIR The Mumbai Police in an affidavit in the Supreme Court had denied that the quarantine of IPS officer Vinay Tiwary was aimed at obstructing the investigation by the Bihar Police in the case registered by Sushants father in Patna Clarifying the quarantine of the Bihar Police officer the Mumbai Police said In fact such a step was taken by the Municipal Corporation for Greater Mumbai and not by police authorities The top court noted that uncertain about the future contingency in Mumbai the father of the deceased has filed the complaint at Patna levelling serious allegations against Rhea Chakraborty following which the FIR was registered and the Bihar Police started their investigation The case is now taken over by the CBI at the request of the Bihar government The petitioner has no objection for investigation by the CBI but is sceptical about the bonafides of the steps taken by the Bihar government and the Patna Police observed Justice Roy However Justice Roy noted that the incidents referred to in the complaint do indicate that the Mumbai Police also possess the jurisdiction to undertake investigation Therefore in the event of a case being registered also at Mumbai the consent for the investigation by the CBI under Section 6 of the DSPE Act can be competently given by Maharashtra government noted the top court The top courts order has come on the petition filed by Sushants girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty

Pandoras Box with his recent comments on Bollywood against the backdrop of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case In a couple of TV debates Khanna of the Shaktiman has claimed that there have been many murders in Bollywood which were allegedly declared as suicides in the past His remarks were greeted with murmurs of disbelief and disdain while some dismissed allegations of the actor fondly remembered for the role of Bhishma Pitamah Mahabharata as the man who knows too much Now Khannas statements have become a potential case of action in the form of a letter to Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh demanding that the utterances should form the basis for the police to reinvestigate all Bollywood suicides that may have been potential murders in the past 50 years or so Shiv Sena leader and Vasantrao Naik Sheti Swavlamban Mission VNSSM President Kishore Tiwari who is accorded the status of Minister of State has shot off the letter to the Mumbai CP for a thorough probe into Khannas allegations in public interest On August 13 in a debate on Republic TV Khanna made the stunning declaration in the presence of the Editor Arnab Goswami and several others like legal luminary Ujjwal Nikam BJP leader Sambit Patra and even myself Nobody questioned him on such a serious matter which he later repeated on at least one other channel and others have followed it up prominently Tiwari told IANS Taking the lead Tiwari has urged Mumbai CoP Singh to set up a Special Investigatin Team SIT and probe Khannas TV comments that many crimes of murders in Bollywood are suppressed and turned into cases of suicide like the Sushant Singh Rajput case Maharashtra home department sources indicated that considering the serious nature of Khannas charges repeatedly openly on at least two TV channels the government will seek a report on the same from the DirectorGeneral of Police If he or anybody has knowledge of any murders sought to be turned into suicides as stated in the TV debates they must share and depose before the police and the courts said an official declining to be identified As this amounts to knowledge of very serious cognizable crimes or even its conspiracy Tiwari said the Police must immediately summon Khanna Goswami and Patra to share whatever inside knowledge they possess to enable a reprobe of all such 100odd crimes Let them voluntarily reveal details of all such alleged murdersturnedsuicides in the past 50 years whether Khanna and others actually witnessed these alleged murders who committed them whether mafia in connivance with some Bollywood rogues or some supari killers etc Tiwari pointed out However if Khannas contentions are proved fake or false then he and the others like Goswami and Patra must face criminal action and be penalized for Rs100 crore each Let them realize that such loose statements on a public platform paints Bollywood in poor light tarnishes the image of Maharashtra Police and the credibility of the entire Indian Judiciary warned the Sena leader Tiwari also lauded Khannas courage for pointing a finger at Bollywood where there is so much hidden muck of which the Sushant case is just one offshoot and this will now result in a Maha Swachhata Abhiyan to cleanse the film industry He admitted Khannas statements pose huge ramifications for the entire Bollywood corporate television media and political world besides the people at large who have full faith in the police and judiciary which was shaken by such statements Quaid Najmi can be contacted at qnajmiiansin IANS

Rajput his brotherinlaw Vishal Kirti in a new blog post has revisited the fateful night when he received the news of the tragic demise Vishal also recalled how breaking the news to his wife Shweta Singh Kirti was one of the toughest things he has had to do in life We were fast asleep on the night of 13th June which was a Saturday night in the US and Sunday 14th June afternoon in IndiaÂThe dreadful calls started coming in at around 2am PST 230 pm IST The phone was away from the bed and of course I had no idea who was calling and why continuously but I could hear the nonstop vibrations Annoyed I got up to check and at that moment the world came tumbling down Before I talked to anyone I read the text messages which were flashing on the screen he began Many people including family members were trying to reach us and many friends were asking if the news was fake I checked the news and was horrified to read that Sushant had allegedly taken his life I ran over to Shwetas phone on the other side of the bed and noticed a plethora of missed calls and text messages on her phone as well And thats when I did one of the toughest things I have had to do in my life break the news to Shweta I cannot forget her reaction and her first conversation with Rani Di It broke my heart to listen to them crying on the phone and that night changed our lives forever as we knew it he added Vikas then shared the struggle to arrange travel amid the ongoing Covid19 pandemic Eventually with the help of friends in the Bay Area we found one seat for Shweta on a San FranciscoDelhi flight on the 16th of June The morning was even more challenging since we had to break this news to our children Sushants niece and nephew he wrote Vikas also shared his purpose of revisiting the moments when they got the news of his death saying we are still struggling Emotions are still high and eyes are still watery What was taken away from us that night is hard to express in words Our lives will never be the same again However we hope that an unbiased investigation would shed light on what transpired and perhaps give us some closure so that we can focus on cherishing his memories instead of always wondering what exactly happened with Sushant and why he could not be saved Hence my appeal to everyone is to keep pressing for truth so that not only us but all of Sushants supporters and wellwishers

other accounts and for what purpose he added The agency said that the agency is collecting all the banking transaction details to study the mode of payments done via Sushants bank account The source also pointed out that out of Rs 15 crore approximately Rs 27 crore was paid as taxes by the late actor Another ED source related to the probe also pointed out that Sushant and Rhea who were in a

together and formed companies with Sushant Rhea is a director in Vividrage Rhealityx while her brother Showik is a director in Front India for World Foundation along with Sushant The source said that

taking a neutral stand on the Sushant Singh Rajput case for sometime a leader of the Congress party has now asked the Nitish Kumarled Bihar government to demand for a Supreme Courtmonitored probe into the Bollywood actors case Congress Bihar incharge Shakti Singh Gohil said that instead of making statements in the media the state government should convince the apex court for an investigation monitored by the top court Speaking to IANS Gohil said Even the Prime Minister has said many times that the Central Bureau of Investigation CBI is not an agency and it is not beyond doubt Hence the Bihar government should put facts before the top court and demand for a probe monitored by it so that the truth can come forward at earliest The demand comes at a time when there is a strong sense of sympathy for the actor and his family prevails across the country The party has sympathy for the family of the actor but one cannot doubt that the Mumbai Police are the best in terms of the investigation They caught Ajmal Kasab alive and took the case to a logical conclusion so raising a finger on the credibility of the Maharashtra Police is not a good thing Gohil added The Congress is a part of the coalition government in Maharashtra in which Shiv Sena holds the maximum number of seats ie 56 followed by the Nationalist Congress Party NCP 54 and the Congress 44 On the Sushant death issue Congress is in a tightrope situation where any contrary step may put the alliance in trouble The Bihar government has made only statements in the case They are not bothered about the case but are focusing only on politics the Congress leader said The Bihar government in its written submission to the Supreme Court on Thursday alleged a political pressure by the Maharashtra government in the case It is apparent that it is on account of political pressure in the State of Maharashtra that neither the FIR has been registered by the Mumbai Police nor did they extend any cooperation to the Bihar Police in discharging their obligation to conduct investigation expeditiously said the Bihar government in its submissions before the top court On Tuesday the Supreme Court had reserved the order on the plea of main accused Rhea Chakraborty seeking transfer of the case registered in Patna to Mumbai and asked all the parties in the case to file their written submissions IANS

and alleged that they are getting threats as they continue their fight for justice The family has also criticised the ongoing campaign to slander their reputation in a ninepage open letter The letter written in Hindi comes after an editorial written by Shiv Senas Sanjay Raut in the partys mouthpiece Saamna where he questioned the relationship between the actor and his family The family began the statement with a couplet from Firaq Jalalpuri which read Tu idhar udhar ki na baat kar Ye bata ki qafila kyun luta Mujhe rahzanon se gila nahin Teri rahbari ka sawal hai The letter starts by pointing out how crores of people are disturbed after Sushants murder and how his family is being attacked from all quarters It also pointed out that many people are taking advantage of the tragedy for vested gains and fame This was the reason they decided to pen the open letter to narrate what it means to be Sushants family It talks about how they shifted from a village to a city so that the children could excel in their lives Talking about Sushant and his sisters the letter said The first daughter had magic someone came and took her away to the land of angels The second one played for the national cricket team the third studied law and the fourth daughter did a diploma in fashion designing The fifth one was Sushant the sort who is a mannat for mothers Their entire life Sushants family did not take anything from anyone neither did they harm anyone On his untimely death the letter said People only dream about what happened in the last 810 years But what happened today should not even happen to an enemy The letter goes on to take a swipe at the relatives who have been giving statements to the media claiming they were close to the actor The letter did not mention Sushants girlfriend actress Rhea Chakraborty but said that Sushant was brutally murdered and that crooks trapped him It went on to question how expensive lawyers are being hired in the case wondering if they will murder justice indicating the highprofile lawyer hired by Rhea The family said they were not even given time to mourn his death with stories surfacing that he is mentally imbalanced and photographs of his dead body going viral It termed the investigation by Mumbai Police as only for optics saying that they only tried to implicate a few rich privileged people They also questioned why no steps were taken when the family approached them to take preventive action The family said that the four sisters and the father are getting threats as a consequence of their fight for justice and face everyday

continue to come out with new revelations nearly two months after his mysterious death Now Ashok Kumar Khasu who used to work as Sushants cook has said that he never heard of Bhaiyya Sushant going into depression Ashok a resident of Lumbini in Nepal lived with Sushant for three years from 2016 to 2019 He remained Sushants cook for five months after Rhea Chakraborty came into Sushants life Ashok lived with Sushant at Joggers Park in Little Heights Apartments and Capri Heights Apartments In a special conversation with IANS Ashok said that a person like Sushant could never go into depression because he was quite relaxed and easygoing Ashok said He could never go into depression He was far removed from all this And the matter of his going into depression is coming to the fore now I have never heard of this For three years I was like his shadow We stayed together but I never felt anything like this There is definitely something amiss Ashok added that the actor had changed a lot after a tour of Europe He said Bhaiyya and Rhea went on a Europe tour in the first week of October 2019 They returned on October 28 He had changed a lot after returning I was not with him then but his caretaker Neeraj and the new cook Keshav whom Rhea had hired told me that Sahab has changed a lot and is no longer a jolly person Ashok also said that during this time he tried to contact Sushant several times over the phone but Sushant did not answer Subsequently in December 2019 Sushant refused to even meet his sisters Meetu and Priyanka when they came to his house with Ashok Ashok said It was very shocking I was quite surprised considering the kind of relationship Sushant sir had with his sisters Meetu Didi was crying When Meetu Didi messaged Sushant sir that Bhai we are in Mumbai and want to meet you he simply replied in a message and said I am busy in a meeting right now and cannot come While at that time Sushant sir did not have any new project Dil Bechara had been completed and he had no other film Ashok said that Priyanka had met Sushant in January as she used to stay with him for long periods whenever she was in Mumbai but after Rhea came into his life this too changed Ashok said that most of the people who are now giving statements to the media are lying None of them know the truth and people who do know something are not telling anyone When asked if the Mumbai Police and Patna Police had recorded his statement Ashok said Yes I did give my statement The Mumbai Police has recorded my statement twice and the Patna Police talked to me for 10 minutes In fact the Mumbai Police called me to get my statement again when I had already explained everything clearly IANS https://dailyworld.in/sushant/former-cook-says-sushant-could-not-have-been-depressed-57600.html

also did injustice to him Imagine how happy he would have been had all those appreciation and compliments were made when he was alive I understand you cant praise everyone every day but if you want to

and a public apology has been sought Raut has told the media that Sushant father had married twice which was the reason the Bollywood actor was unhappy with KK Singh This is completely untrue and baseless People have been hurt due by this insinuation the counsel said Niraj Kumar said that earlier too he had warned of a defamation suit against the Sena leader over his remarks If Raut does not apologise publicly within 48 hours we will file the case the BJP leader said In the legal notice Niraj Kumar has said that whatever Raut had said on the issue was baseless and nothing of the sort had happened Raut was accused of giving the statement under political duress or that he had been misled by someone into doing so Hence you are given a chance to express regret or apologise without delay

Memon has called out the media clamour around the death of Sushant Singh Rajput saying that publicising every minute development adversely affects truth and justice Memon is being criticised by a section of social media for his comment Sushant was not as famous during his lifetime as he is after his death The space in media he is occupying nowadays is perhaps more than our PM or President of US Memon wrote on his official Twitter handle When a crime is at investigation stage secrecy has to be maintained Publicising every development in the process of collecting vital evidence adversely affects the interest of truth and justice he added His tweets were met with mixed reaction with many taking offence to his posts Reacting to the adverse reaction to his views Memon wrote There is so much noise on my tweet on Sushant Does it mean that Sushant was not popular during his lifetime or that he should not get justice Certainly not Misinterpretation should be avoided The tweet does not in any way insults or belittle him On June 14 Sushant was found dead in his flat in Mumbai with police declaring his death as suicide The late actors family subsequently lodged an FIR charging his actress girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her family for abetment to suicide among other charges IANS

family members The sources also disclosed that during her questioning by the ED she had shared her experience about a trip to Italy in October 2019 when she allegedly saw Sushant depressed in a hotel room The ED sources revealed that Rhea Showik and Indrajit have not shared the details of their properties with the agency The sources said that the ED had asked bank officials to share such details

https://dailyworld.in/sushant/rhea-moves-fresh-plea-in-sc-says-media-trial-unfair-57088.html New Delhi Aug 10 In the Sushant Singh Rajput case the late actors girlfriend and actress Rhea Chakraborty has moved a fresh plea in the Supreme Court complaining that the media was unfairly holding a trial and pronouncing her guilty She also urged the top court to ensure that she is not be made a scapegoat of political agenda in the wake of the Bihar elections scheduled later this year For the reasons set out hereinabove it is submitted that the transfer of investigation to the CBI by the Bihar Police is illegal the plea said However the petitioner reiterated that she had no objection if the court referred the matter to the CBI and even if the CBI propbes the matter the jurisdiction will still be with the courts in Mumbai and not in Patna Rhea argued that actors Ashutosh Bhakre and Sameer Sharma too had committed suicide like Sushant in the last 30 days but there was not even a whisper in the media about these two cases The hearing on the matter is listed for Tuesday Earlier Rhea had moved the top court seeking transfer of the case against her from Patna to Mumbai Actors Ashutosh Bhakre 32 and Sameer Sharma 44 also reportedly committed suicide in the last 30 days but there isnt even a whisper about the cases in the corridors of power But in Sushant case the Chief Minister of Bihar is reported to be responsible for registering an FIR in Patna said the additional affidavit filed by Rhea She insisted that the sad incident of the death of Sushan who hailed from Bihar unfortunately occurred just in the wake of Assembly elections in Bihar Due to this the matter is being blown out of proportion said the affidavit Rhea also said that the issue is being blown out of proportion by the media Media channels are examining and crossexamining all the witnesses in the case The petitioner has already been convicted by the media even before foul play could be established behind Sushants death Extreme trauma and infringement of privacy of the rights of the petitioner is being caused due to constant sensationalisation of the case said the affidavit Rhea also told the apex court that she should be protected and not made a scapegoat of political agenda IANS https://dailyworld.in/sushant/rhea-moves-fresh-plea-in-sc-says-media-trial-unfair-57088.html Tue, 11
