The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has officially wrapped up its investigation into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, presenting a final closure report to a Mumbai court. After a thorough inquiry lasting four and a half years, the report concludes that the actor’s demise was self-inflicted, with no signs of foul play or coercion.
As part of the investigation, Sushant’s social media exchanges were analyzed in the United States through a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT). The findings confirmed that there was no evidence of tampering with his messages.
Here are 10 significant insights from the CBI’s closure report:
1️⃣ No Evidence of Coercion – The CBI found no indications that Sushant was coerced into taking his life.
2️⃣ Claims of Abetment Dismissed – Allegations suggesting that someone provoked him to commit suicide were entirely rejected by the investigation.
3️⃣ Murder Theories Discredited – The AIIMS forensic team ruled out any possibility of strangulation or poisoning, confirming that there were no injuries inconsistent with suicide.
4️⃣ Suicide Confirmed as Cause of Death – The CBI’s final report officially identifies suicide as the cause of death.
5️⃣ No Evidence of Criminal Conspiracy – The AIIMS forensic experts stated that there was no indication of a premeditated conspiracy or foul play.
6️⃣ Digital Evidence Remains Untouched – Sushant’s social media conversations and chats were verified by U.S. forensic experts, confirming no alterations or fabrications.
7️⃣ Family Can Contest the Report – Despite the closure report, Sushant’s family retains the right to file a protest petition in Mumbai court if they disagree with the findings.
8️⃣ Rhea Chakraborty Cleared of Charges – Sushant’s family had accused his girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, of abetting his suicide, but the CBI has now exonerated her and her family from all allegations.
9️⃣ Rhea’s Lawyer Responds – Following the clean chit, Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde remarked, “I am proud to have defended a soldier’s family. Rhea and her family endured immense hardships, but justice has prevailed.”
🔟 Criticism of Media Trials – Rhea’s lawyer also condemned the media and investigative agencies for publicly shaming and harassing innocent individuals, expressing hope that such errors will not recur in future cases.
The heartbreaking death of Sushant Singh Rajput on June 14, 2020, sparked widespread public outrage, conspiracy theories, and political discussions. However, with the CBI’s final closure report affirming suicide, the case has now been officially closed after nearly five years of investigation.
The lingering question is: Will Sushant's family accept the CBI’s conclusions, or will they pursue further legal action?
