Actor Sushant Singh Rajput‘s death case has a closure report issued by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). In Bandra, the actor was discovered hanging on June 14, 2020. A special court in Mumbai received the CBI’s findings on Saturday and will now determine whether to accept the report or direct the agency to conduct additional investigation, authorities told news agency PTI.

According to the first report from the Mumbai Police, Rajput committed suicide. The preliminary findings indicated that depression might have played a role, but investigators had not discovered any indication of forced entrance. No suicide note was found at the scene, but his body was found hanging from the ceiling fan.

Subsequently, Sushant’s family filed a formal complaint in Patna against Rhea Chakraborty and others, claiming that they had assisted suicide, committed theft, cheated, and been wrongfully imprisoned. The Mumbai Police, who had been in charge of the inquiry at first, and the Bihar Police then got into a jurisdictional conflict.

On the suggestion of the Bihar government, the national government authorized a CBI investigation into the matter. The Supreme Court of India ordered the CBI to assume responsibility for the investigation on August 19, 2020, giving the central agency complete authority to carry out the investigation. The charges of “poisoning and strangling” in the case were rejected by forensic experts at AIIMS in their final medico-legal opinion to the CBI.
