Siddharth Pithani is being under the CBI's scanner as he was the one who was present in Sushant Singh Rajput's home when the actor reportedly hung himself to death at his Mumbai residence on June 14. Since then, Pithani has emerged as one of the key suspects in the death case of 'Dil Bechara' actor. As per the latest development, Pithani who is being grilled by the CBI for the sixth consecutive day, has confessed that eight hard drives were destroyed in Sushant Singh Rajput's home on June 8, the day Rhea Chakraborty reportedly left SSR's house.
