Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his home in Mumbai ‘s Bandra, police said it was a suicide.
Mumbai:
A new WhatsApp chat has emerged in the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, indicating that his family was aware of his mental health issue. The chat logs accessed by NDTV show a conversation with his sister Priyanka about his treatment and the medications he was taking.
According to the first information report presented in Patna, Sushant Rajput’s father has claimed that he had no knowledge about his son’s mental health problems. His treatment, his father also claimed, was carried out without the knowledge of his family.
But the WhatsApp chats make it clear that his family prescribed medication for the actor without a doctor examining him.
Chakraborty had dated Sushant Rajput for a year and left their home on June 8, six days before he was found dead. Sushant Rajput’s family has accused her and her family of mentally harassing the actor, diverting money from his bank accounts and playing a role in his death.
Ms. Chakraborty has dismissed the allegations as “pathetic”. “Sushant used to smoke marijuana. I tried to control him to stop smoking … I have never talked to a (drug) dealer or used drugs in my life. I am open to a blood test,” Ms Chakraborty told NDTV in an interview.
The 28-year-old has been questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is investigating the case following an order from the Supreme Court.
Two other government agencies, the Directorate of Enforcement and the Office of Narcotics Control, are also targeting the case, which has been in the news since the young actor’s death.
He had also been at the center of a political battle between Maharashtra, ruled by the opposition, and Bihar, ruled by the BJP, ahead of the assembly elections to be held later this year in the eastern state.
