Sushant’s family, friends, and hundreds of thousands of fans have raised questions about how he died. The CBI investigation began after the family filed a case accusing the actor’s purported girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty of mentally harassing him, medicating him, exploiting him for money, and abetting his suicide.

Rhea Chakraborty, who was arrested earlier this month along with her brother and several others in a drug-related case pertaining to Sushant’s death, has denied the late actor’s father’s charges. She was described by the NCB as “an active member of a drug syndicate” and accused of organising drugs for Sushant Singh Rajput.
