Mumbai Police wasted time; ED, CBI, NCB will make revelation soon: Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh, the lawyer of deceased actor Sushant Singh Rajput's father KK Singh, said that Mumbai Police misled the investigation and he has confidence that the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) will make a revelation soon in the case.

"The Mumbai Police wasted time in the probe and misled the investigation by not registering an FIR in the matter. ED's investigation started later. I have confidence that the ED, CBI and NCB will work in synergy and there should be a revelation in the matter soon," Singh told media.

"I will not comment on the investigation. Let the investigation agencies do their job and if there is any legal interpretation required or if there is a stand for the family to take, it is only then when I can comment," he added.

The lawyer further said that the troubles in Sushant's life surfaced when Rhea Chakraborty entered in his life.

"All the troubles in Sushant Singh Rajput's life started after Rhea Chakraborty came in his life in 2019. He had anxiety which his family used to support him in. There was no major depression being suffered by Sushant. If he was suffering from something, then Rhea did not share it with his family," Singh said.

SSR Death Case LIVE Updates

Mumbai:A five-member team of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided at Rhea Chakraborty and Samuel Miranda's houses on Friday following the drug angle in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. 

Earlier, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) said it has arrested two alleged contraband dealers in connection with the drugs trafficking case linked to the case of Rajput's
death.

The role of Rhea Chakraborty's brother and his purported links with people nabbed by NCB are under the scanner of the agency and he is expected to be summoned for questioning soon, officials said.

The CBI questioned late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's psychiatrist Susan Walker for the first time on Thursday in connection with the film star's death, an official said.

The probe agency also questioned actress Rhea Chakraborty's father for the third consecutive day, he said.

"Rajput's psychiatrist Susan Walker reached the DRDO guest house in suburban Kalina, where the probe team is stationed, around 1 pm and left the place around 8 pm. She was questioned for the first time," the official said.

According to the official, Rhea Chakraborty's father Indrajeet Chakraborty arrived at the guest house around 10.30 am in a car escorted by a police vehicle.

"It was his third day of questioning, which lasted for around five hours. He left the place around 3.30 pm," he added.

Rhea Chakraborty and her family members are accused of abetting the suicide of Rajput (34), who was found hanging in his flat in Mumbai's Bandra area on June 14.

In the last two days, the 28-year-old actress's father was questioned for over 18 hours by the CBI.

The actress, who was earlier questioned for around 35 hours over four days, and her brother Showik Chakraborty, who was also grilled by the CBI, were not questioned on Thursday.

However, the probe team quizzed Rajput's flatmate Siddharth Pithani and domestic help Deepesh Sawant during the day, the official said.

After Rajput's demise, the Mumbai Police registered a case of accidental death and recorded statements of over 50 people.

The late actor's father subsequently filed a police complaint in Patna, accusing Rhea Chakraborty and her family of abetting his suicide and misappropriating his money.

The Supreme Court last month upheld the transfer of the FIR lodged in Patna to the CBI.
