Soon after the Supreme Court ruled in their favour that the Central Bureau of Investigation will take over the probe of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, the late actor’s father KK Singh on Wednesday declared that he is the legal heir of Sushant and no one can represent the actor's property without his consent.

KK Singh issued a statement terming him as the legal heir of Sushant and barring anyone from representing the actor.

“It is hereby declared that I am the legal heir of late Sushant Singh Rajput and in that capacity, any arrangement that Sushant had during his lifetime for the engagement of any lawyer, Chartered Accountant and other professional came to an end upon the death of Sushant and thereafter no lawyer, Chartered Accountant or other person is entitled to represent the estate of Sushant without my express consent," KK Singh said in a statement.

KK Singh’s statement further reads as, “It is also made clear that only I and my daughters comprise the family of Sushant and we have authorized Varun Singh (SKV Law Offices, Commercial) as our Advocate and through him Vikas Singh, Sr. Advocate, to represent the family. Any other person claiming himself to be family member does not have my consent.”

On a related note, while assuring full cooperation to the Central Bureau of Investigation in the Sushant Singh Rajput death probe, the Maharashtra government on Wednesday hinted that it would examine conducting a parallel probe as per the Supreme Court verdict.
