Sushant Singh Rajput’s family alleges CBI probe into his death to be “incomplete and misleading,” to file protest petition

**Sushant Singh Rajput’s Family to Contest CBI Closure Report Five Years After Actor’s Death**

Five years after the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, his family has decided to challenge the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) closure report. The report, which concluded that the 34-year-old star died by suicide, cleared actor Rhea Chakraborty of all allegations. However, Sushant’s family strongly disputes these findings, labeling the investigation as “incomplete” and “misleading.”

The CBI’s March 2025 report ruled out any foul play in Rajput’s death. It stated there was no evidence to prove that Rhea Chakraborty abetted the actor’s suicide or misappropriated his finances. The agency highlighted that Sushant was alone in his Bandra apartment between June 8 and June 14, 2020—the day he was found dead—and noted that neither Rhea nor her brother Showik visited him during this period.

Despite these findings, Sushant’s family remains unconvinced. According to a report by Mid-Day, their lawyer, Advocate Varun Singh, criticized the report for a lax investigation approach.

“This is nothing but an eyewash. If the CBI wanted to uncover the truth, it should have submitted all supporting documents—chats, technical data, witness statements, and medical records. We will file a protest petition against this closure report, which is based on a shoddy investigation,” Singh said.

The CBI’s submission included two closure reports filed earlier this year. The first addressed a complaint lodged by Sushant’s father, K. K. Singh, in Patna, accusing Rhea and her family of driving the actor to suicide and mishandling his finances. The second involved a case Rhea had registered against Sushant’s sisters in Mumbai.

The agency’s findings also stated that Rajput’s financial matters were transparently handled by his chartered accountant and lawyer. It further deemed the actor’s expenses on Rhea—including their 2019 Europe trip—legitimate and voluntary.

Responding to these claims, Advocate Varun Singh argued the CBI’s conclusions lacked transparency. “Merely claiming that funds weren’t withdrawn from Sushant’s account isn’t enough. The CBI must present detailed bank statements to substantiate its conclusion. This flimsy report won’t hold in court,” he asserted.

The case is scheduled for hearing in a Patna court on December 20, where Sushant’s family intends to formally challenge the CBI’s closure report.
