Anomalies in the suicide theory

Sushant’s family: Sushant’s sister Meetu Singh was just 10 minutes away, they should have waited for her. (She was at Goregaon, at least a 20 minute drive from Bandra if the roads are empty.) A locksmith was called to open the locked door. Once he had done the job, he was taken away. (The locksmith broke the lock. However, no one seemed to be in hurry to open the door. The locksmith was taken downstairs before the door was opened.) Rhea’s family: In televised interviews, Pithani has said that he had followed Meetu Singh’s instructions over phone to bring Sushant’s body down in the hope that he was still alive, and that he tried to revive him by pumping his chest.

Sushant’s family: The Mumbai police were required to complete the inquest process. Instead, they started calling people from the film industry in the name of probing nepotism, which cannot be the direct cause of death. There are so many unanswered questions. The more you deal with them, the more you realise that there’s foul play.

What could be the motive for murder?

Sushant’s family: Advocate Vikas Singh says several theories need to be probed, and whether murder or suicide, Rhea is completely involved. An impartial agency, like the CBI, should find out the truth, he says. Rhea’s family: Maneshinde says Rhea had herself called for a CBI investigation. Since the Supreme Court has transferred the case to the CBI, she will appear and face the investigation like she did with Mumbai police and the ED. The truth, he says, will remain the same whichever agency investigates.

Why does Sushant’s family blame Rhea?

Sushant’s family: If Sushant was disturbed mentally, would he tell Rhea to block his number? There was not a single conversation in his last six days. Rhea’s family: Maneshinde says Rhea left Sushant’s home on June 8 reluctantly, on his request, and told him to “let her or her brother know about anything he required or if he needed to talk”.
