00:00Divyesh continues to be with us, Divyesh you know Satish Manichande of course saying

00:05that he is obviously happy about this judgement but there was fair amount of witch hunting

00:10against Rhea Chakravorty.

00:12The family has always suspected this to be you know a mysterious death, they have spoken

00:17about there being some amount, some kind of foul play behind it.

00:22Well, as I earlier pointed out Sneha, the family had filed the FIR in Patna and that

00:31led to the case being investigated by CBI because the Patna FIR was the FIR which was

00:37transferred to CBI for investigation because earlier it was investigated by the Bihar police

00:43because Mumbai police only had an accidental death report, remember Mumbai police did not

00:48have any kind of investigation or investigation into any kind of foul play, Mumbai police

00:55had been saying that it is a case of suicide but we will investigate if there has been

01:02an abetment to suicide.

01:04So they investigated film directors, they investigated film makers, be it Karan Johar

01:10company, be it Sanjay Leela Bansali, be it Aditya Chopra, Mahesh Bhatt, everyone was

01:15questioned, their statements were recorded and Karan Johar's, his company Dharma Productions

01:22CEO also recorded his statement, Mahesh Bhatt recorded, Aditya Chopra recorded, Sanjay Leela

01:28Bansali recorded his statement and there were several others who recorded their statement

01:33but it was only being investigated on the lines of abetment to suicide, if there was

01:38an abetment to suicide and that section was put in the Patna FIR, so there was never any

01:45kind of suspicion regarding the suicide from the family's side as well because in the FIR

01:51it says abetment to suicide, in the FIR it says abetment to suicide that means they knew

02:00that it was a case of suicide but what, through Sushant Singh to suicide, that is what they

02:06suspected but there was no foul play that was suspected whether someone has murdered

02:11him or whether he has been killed or there is any other kind of foul play but they suspected

02:17there could be an abetment angle which led Sushant Singh to suicide. Now the case with

02:24CBI was of misappropriation of funds, abetment to suicide and various other sections, cheating,

02:30forgery and various other sections and on those lines they recorded, they again recorded

02:37multiple statements of filmmakers, multiple statements of staffers of Sushant Singh Rajput,

02:41people known to Sushant Singh Rajput, friends of Sushant Singh Rajput, relatives of Sushant

02:47Singh Rajput and of course Priya Chakraborty and her brother, in fact her parents were also under

02:55investigation.
