Information requested cannot be provided," CBI in its reply to an RTI query." ANI's tweet read.
Several theories around the cause of death had been in circulation. Sushant's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty was also accused of misappropriating his wealth and abetting his suicide by the deceased's family. Later, the Narcotics Control Bureau( NCB) also registered a case against Chakraborty wherein she was accused of a 'drug angle' that led to Sushant's death.
She was also granted bail when the HC found no substantial evidence to support the claim. However, NCB had challenged HC's bail before the Supreme Court. The entire trial became a subject of intense media scrutiny and online trolling wherein Rhea was targeted. Many also came out in support of her and appealed to all to stop this 'witch hunt'.
Sushant Singh Rajput was last seen in 'Dil Bechara' alongside Sanjana Sanghi who made her debut with the film. The film was released posthumously a month after Sushant's death. The actor is survived by four sisters and his father.
