While several called Sushant Singh Rajput’s death a suicide, many others, including Rajput’s family, accused that it was a murder. Consequently, they requested a probe from the CBI.
One case was filed in August 2021 in Patna by Sushant Singh Rajput’s father against Rhea, her kin and others. Another case was filed in September by Rhea Chakraborty against Rajput’s sister and doctor, stated reports.
The CBI FIR in Rajput’s case named Rhea Chakraborty and her kin Indrajit Chakraborty, Sandhya and Showik apart from her associates Samuel Miranda and Shruti Modi.

Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde told reporters that his client had to “undergo untold miseries” and was “behind bars for 27 days for no fault of hers” , until Justice Sarang V Kotwal released her on bail.
“I salute her and her family for having kept silent and yet suffered the inhuman treatment they were meted out,” added Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer.
