The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has officially closed the investigation into the tragic death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, formally clearing Rhea Chakraborty of all charges related to his demise.
According to Indian media, the case, which captured nationwide attention and fueled a massive media frenzy, has concluded after nearly four years of investigation. Earlier, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14, 2020, under what was initially believed to be a suicide.
His sudden and mysterious death sparked widespread speculation, leading to public outcry and calls for a thorough investigation. Various theories emerged in the media, with some suggesting foul play, while others pointed to personal issues, including his troubled mental health and alleged financial disputes.
Rhea Chakraborty, who was Sushant’s girlfriend at the time, became a central figure in the media’s coverage of his death. She and her family faced intense scrutiny, with numerous rumors circulating about their involvement in Sushant’s death.
Allegations were made against Rhea, including accusations of abetment to suicide, financial fraud, and mental harassment, with Sushant’s father filing a formal complaint against her. In response, Rhea herself filed a case against Sushant’s sisters, claiming harassment.
The investigation, which was transferred to the CBI, looked into both of these complaints and explored various angles, including financial transactions, the actor’s mental health, and the circumstances surrounding his final days.
After years of probing, the CBI has concluded that there is no substantial evidence to suggest that Sushant was driven to suicide or that any foul play was involved in his death. The closure report, submitted by the CBI, has cleared Rhea Chakraborty of all charges, putting to rest the allegations that had been levied against her and her family.
While the case has been closed, the impact of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death on the public and media remains profound. The intense media attention, especially directed at Rhea, led to a polarizing debate over issues of mental health, media responsibility, and public accountability. Although the legal investigation has now concluded, the conversation surrounding the actor’s death continues to resonate, with many still grappling with the circumstances of his untimely passing.
