The late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was isolated from his family and therefore, despite wanting to help him with his problems, they were unable to help him, defender Varun Singh, a lawyer for the family, said Wednesday.
“It has never been our case that the family did not know. We have always said that there seemed to be a lot of problems and so we (the family) wanted to rescue Sushant at the right time, ”Singh told ANI here.
He said a look at the FIR in the case clarifies what has been drawn up.
“Because he (Sushant) was isolated, the family was unable to help him and help him overcome the problem, which is why unfortunately things have happened the way they have,” Singh said.
“To dispel rumors and to bring some clarity on the family’s position and their case, Mr. Vikas Singh (Sushant’s father’s lawyer) will address the media today,” he added.
Speaking about the recently filed drug case in the matter, Singh said the family’s FIR has nothing to do with the drugs angle.
“The credible investigation agency has taken note of the fact that these situations have occurred and there is something worth investigating. However, we as whistleblowers have not really emphasized or made that a basis for our case, ”he said.
When asked about the questioning of Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the lawyer said that he cannot reveal the information as it is an investigative matter. He also said that he cannot reveal what his three sisters discussed with their lawyers when they came to meet with them today, without their consent.
It was also recently reported that Sushant’s sister Priyanka knew about her mental health condition.
This comes as the CBI, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) are investigating the death case, the money laundering angle, and the drug angle in the matter, respectively.
The case came to light after the body of Sushant Singh Rajput was found in her apartment in Bandra, Mumbai, on June 14. The police, at the time, had said that prima facia appeared to be a suicide case.
