CBI Declares Suicide in Sushant Singh Rajput Case
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has finally closed its probe into the Sushant Singh Rajput case, declaring it a “simple case of suicide”. The report absolves Rhea Chakraborty, her parents, and her brother of all charges, bringing an end to the five-year-long legal battle.
The closure of the case has triggered widespread reactions, with Bollywood celebrities demanding accountability for the media’s mistreatment of Rhea. The verdict has also reignited discussions about the mental health struggles faced by the late actor.
CBI’s Closure Report: No Foul Play, Only Suicide
After an extensive investigation spanning nearly five years, the CBI’s closure report has concluded that Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide. The agency dismissed all allegations of homicide, abetment, or foul play, giving Rhea Chakraborty and her family a clean chit.
Key findings of the CBI report include:
No evidence of physical assault or external injuries on Sushant’s body.
Forensic reports confirming death by hanging.
No financial irregularities or exploitation by Rhea Chakraborty.
Lack of credible evidence for abetment of suicide or conspiracy.
The report also mentions that Rhea’s drug-related charges filed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) were separate from the suicide case.
Rhea Chakraborty: From Villain to Victim
Throughout the investigation, Rhea Chakraborty was portrayed as the prime suspect. She faced allegations of financial exploitation, drug abuse, and emotional manipulation, with the media branding her as a villain.
However, the CBI’s clean chit has now vindicated Rhea, who had always denied any wrongdoing. Following the closure report, Rhea released a statement expressing relief and hope for a fresh start:
“It has been a long and painful fight for justice. I am grateful that the truth has finally prevailed. I can now begin to rebuild my life.”
Bollywood Stands by Rhea, Seeks Public Apology
Following the CBI’s clean chit, several Bollywood celebrities have spoken out in support of Rhea Chakraborty.
Pooja Bhatt shared an old post by Akshay Kumar, calling for empathy and urging people not to jump to conclusions. She wrote:
“The media trial was brutal and unjustified. Rhea deserves a public apology.”
Dia Mirza, who was vocal against the media’s vilification of Rhea, took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
“Will the same media channels that vilified Rhea now apologize? It’s time for accountability.”
Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhasker also called out the sensationalism and mob mentality, urging people to reflect on the damage caused to Rhea’s mental health and career.
Public Reaction: Justice or Cover-up?
While many Bollywood celebrities are demanding justice for Rhea, some sections of the public remain unconvinced.
Fans of Sushant Singh Rajput have taken to social media, expressing disappointment over the CBI’s suicide verdict.
On platforms like X and Instagram, hashtags such as #JusticeForSSR and #CBIBetraysSSR have been trending. Many users claim that the case was mishandled and demand a reinvestigation.
Rhea Chakraborty’s Career and Future Prospects
The Sushant Singh Rajput case had a devastating impact on Rhea Chakraborty’s career. She faced social ostracism, lost work opportunities, and battled mental health issues due to the media trial.
With the CBI’s clean chit, Rhea is slowly making a comeback. She recently appeared as a judge on MTV Roadies, marking her return to the industry. Fans and supporters hope that she will now be able to rebuild her career without the burden of false allegations.
The CBI’s closure report brings an official end to the Sushant Singh Rajput case, but it leaves behind unresolved emotions and unanswered questions. While the verdict exonerates Rhea Chakraborty, it cannot erase the damage caused by the media trial and public vilification she faced.
For Sushant’s fans, the pain of his loss lingers, with many still demanding justice and transparency. For Rhea, the closure offers a chance at redemption and a fresh start.
